Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Watching the leaves float to the ground outside my windows

I saw the picture you posted on Facebook, of the red leaves on the red car -- pretty leaves! The leaves aren't changing here yet, so I have to live vicariously through pictures. The aspens were just starting to turn color when I was in Colorado, at least up in Breckenridge. Down in Denver they weren't turning yet.

My throat still hurts, but less than yesterday. I'm still sticking to soft food and popsicles. Our wedding anniversary is Saturday, and I'd like to be able to eat sushi to celebrate. (Sushi should be soft enough, but I feel like wasabi will be nothing but pain on my throat.)

Happy Birthday, erika!

Yay, Dana!

I hope you keep feeling better, Tep.

Guys. The condo closes tomorrow morning. I won't believe it until the paperwork is official, but...I think it's finally happening. I can't tell you what I relief that will be. I have a feeling I may cry a bit. Aside from dealing with his taxes next year, this is the last piece of Dad's estate I need to wrap up.

Our wings are not tired.

Finally, Pix. It will be such a weight off your shoulders!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Tep, I'd advise against wasabi. But I hope you have lots of delicious sushi.

K, I am so relieved the condo closes tomorrow. I will be nervous with you until it is Done Done.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Pix, what a relief!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We're packing up our hotel and heading to the airport to return to SF.

Matilda's passport has arrived! So we'll pick that up on the way home.

Good trip, enjoyed the hotel. Both college tours were excellent and interesting. Fun to see my friend Rio. Fun, but also very emotional seeing my friend Josh, who has just entered hospice. He has months instead of weeks but tears were shed at the goodbye.

for dcp: Alaska Burbank to SFO 11am, Flt 3333.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Looks like flights to SFO are being held at departure airports for approx. 50 minutes. "due to low clouds."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Exactly so. Delayed an hour.

And I had perfectly timed out our check out, gassing rental car, drive to airport, returning car, getting through TSA and getting to gate.

At gate, with new coffee at 10:00 for 10:30 board. Now delayed an hour. Bah.

At least our plane is here and we just need the fog to burn off.
