Nice to get an extra hour today since I woke up at the same time as I always do, but that is an hour earlier.  Gives me some extra time to get my posting up for the week.  The time change always makes me feel like winter is just around the corner especially as now our runs after work are in the dark.  Have to get out our reflective running vests and put batteries in our running flashlights as we look forward to 5 months of running at night.

Quiet week for us with Jo in New York for two days at a conference and my puttering around in CT as usual.  We spent the weekend watching some college football - what a game between Michigan and Illinois and Wisconsin racked up another win - and raking up leaves.  One downside from living in the middle of a forest is that you get a lot of leaves to deal with this time of year.  Probably should take the approach of simply waiting to they have all fallen and then do one massive raking, but that's just not my style.  Figure it is better to only have a few every week to move, but it does mean every week we are out raking and transporting leaves.  We try to collect a bunch for improving the garden soil.  Figure it is free mulch, but does require us to bundle them up in a big tarp and haul them up the hill to the garden.

Last night, we went to Westerly, RI with Sheri and Bruno to enjoy Senor Flacos Mexican food and a play at the Granite Theater.  Production of "In the Flight Path" which the playwright apparently couldn't figure out if it should be a comedy or a drama.  But the acting was well done, so made it was enjoyable to watch.  Only one more play this season and then another year of the Granite is done.  Certainly get our money's worth with the season tickets.

Didn't have any photo moments this week, so I figured that another picture from Jo's world tour would be worthwhile - picture is from when she was in Japan (in case that wasn't obvious).
