Fall has...fallen?

Brace yourselves: assorted random thoughts ahead. It's late and D is watching the Cubs playoff game. By the way, D won the chance to buy Division Series tickets and got some for next Friday. If the Cubs move on to the next level, D and I will be attending Game 2 in Chicago!

Fall is here. The iPod is awesome; I continue to discover fun new podcasts. I was able to enjoy some of them on the plane to Denver--I had a great time last weekend participating in a wedding (the first of two this fall!). The aspens were just turning and the weather was beautiful, if a bit chilly in the evenings. Saw some folks I haven't seen in a while, which was very nice. :-)

I am again in rehearsals for The Nutcracker. I'm playing the same part as last year, so that's easy--I watched the DVD for a small refresher course a couple of weeks ago. It's just a matter of working with the new kids so that they know what to do and where to go. I'm happy to be performing!

The economic crisis is scaring me, especially as I learn more about the depth and breadth of the problems we are having. It's enough to make someone want to hide money under her mattress. I am SO glad that I'm not going to retire any time soon. Also scary: the election. I'm really hoping I don't have to move to Canada this time. It's cold up there.

I always enjoy seasons changing because of the different foods that come into season. We had a great meal last week with pork chops, acorn squash, and wild rice. It seemed very appropriate for a slightly chilly fall evening. Speaking of seasonal foods, our favorite restaurant in town was closed by the flood and should be reopening soon. We are definitely planning on supporting them as they try to regain business.

Forgive my random ramblings. Pretend that you're reading Faulkner and that all of this has some profound meaning that is masquerading as "sound and fury." Like I said, it's late.

Quick correction... Tix are for game 2 of the NLCS (not the NLDS). Cubs have to deliver first, though.

When you're in Denver for wedding no. 2, we'll have to see your mom. B & L's moms got to see us this weekend, so she's behind. :) Plus, my mom was asking about her. :)
