Oktoberfest - a little late We're celebrating Oktoberfest tonight. We are a couple of weeks late (and one day rather than the traditional 2 weeks!). My darling, from MN and of Norsk-German decent, has the "Beer Barrel Polka" and a about 3 dozen other polka songs playing for setting the mood. And ...
