11/28/03 - The night’s events have begun. The murder mystery characters waltz about the tables setting up their backgrounds.

Cool autumn nights, thougts turn inevitably to rust
11/28/03 - I always try and put my garden to bed before the shortened autumn days fall too deep into November. This year I beat the darkness by a few minutes by placing my last clump of leaves and grass cuttings in their rightful place just before the sun was about to depart the clear autumn sky. With a few quiet minutes left in the day I leaned on my trusty old rake to enjoy the moment.
