Autumn Eve

Happy Autumn Eve to one and all! I'm listening to my very own Halloween Mix this evening - the 2nd CD is coming to a close - and enjoying a Stone IPA. It's got a very nice aroma and taste, a classic IPA from San Diego County, Calif. There's a gargoyle on the label so fits in nicely with the time of year!

Today marks two rainy Fridays in a row. Last Saturday I swept all the acorns on the driveway and patio into the yard. Looks like I have to do it again this weekend. They're really piling up!

The Halloween Mix has now moved on to the third CD. I never look on it as "finished." There is always room for improvement. For instance, I think the first CD is very strong, but probably could benefit with the removal of at least one song. Perhaps next year I'll re-work the entire mix, who knows?

- Salud!
