Darn!!! We still haven't gotten an opportunity to get good photos of the fall colors around town. Oh well, I guess that's just the way it goes sometimes. More clouds today, with showers back in the forecast.

Woo-hoo! It will be nice to have a 3-day weekend, and enjoy some great music. I plan to try out hula-hooping to see if I can get back into it. It's great exercise and I think I will really enjoy it, and even be good at if after working at it for awhile. We'll just have to see what happens.

The WVU Mountaineers pulled it out against Univ North Carolina yesterday in Charlotte NC, at the Meinecke Car Care Bowl! Actually, UNC played the better game, but their QB made a very bad pass right at the end of the game and lost it for them. Too bad for them, Woo-hoo for WVU!!!

We stopped by the post office to check our POBox, then decided we'd head down to Jason't Deli for some lunch. We usually cruise down Mass St to see what's up, and check out the marquee on the Granada Theater just for the heck of it.

The evening is cool and refreshing; the daytime is warm & sunny without being sweltering. It's a wonderful change of pace.
