Good Morning & Aloha. Hope you enjoyed that extra hour of sleep. November rides in with a breezy, showery Monday that tops out at 55Β°, then things settle into a mostly dry, crisp stretch with highs in the mid-to-upper 50s and most mornings starting out in the mid-30s.

Good thing, because the calendar is warming up. Lone Tree Brewing in Parker hosts a pumpkin candleholder craft night Tuesday, Sterling Ranch rolls out Music Video Bingo Friday, Max Taps puts your Dunder Mifflin knowledge to the test with The Office trivia Saturday, and next Monday the Highlands Ranch Mansion hosts its Veterans Concert. Round up the family, there's plenty to see.
