Indian Summer

Today is a Sunday extrordinaire, a day of balmy breezes and sun blowing off the past few days of rain, fog and gloom, if only for a while, postponing the inevitable. True fall colors have emerged on this Halloween, and Indian summer reigns. So what am I doing? I am working inside, carpentering in a closet because I am on my own for over 24 hours and feel that I should take advantage of the uninterrupted block of time instead of the blessing of nature. It will be a beautiful night for the kids who will be trick or treating on College Hill without me. I will miss them, but the trade off is that Sophie needs more of this kind of independence from her Dad. So andiamo. My pleasure will be a short run later in the afternoon, before it becomes too late to take advantage of Nature's gift.
