The rain knocked some fraction of the pollon out of the air for a few brief hours, which is very nice. As I\u2019ve aged, my ragweed allergy has matured into something wondrous to behold \u2013 leading me to think of this as the season of free hangovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazing to me that it took 35 years to figure out that this really, seriously, is just a ragweed allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s fall, and another summer has passed by. Not really \u201cpassed\u201d so much, and squeezed around and through my insane schedule. This summer was better than last \u2013 insofar as we weren\u2019t buying a house and trying to move. I grew some porch tomatoes and made several batches of gazpacho \u2026 something sorely lacking last year. The majority of the CSA produce went either into our bellies or into the freezer \u2026 with minimal waste into the compost heap. We spent evening after evening laughing and cooking with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, while the summer has been good, overall, the year has been too hectic by far. <a href=\"http:\/\/tripit.com\">tripit<\/a> tells me that I\u2019ve been on the road 87 nights out of approximately 250 so far this year. That\u2019s way too high \u2013 and I can see the effects when I look at the piles of un-started projects in my office, the gray hairs, the lack of progress at judo, and so on. Some of that has been glorious and crazy adventures with <a href=\"http:\/\/redmed.livejournal.com\/\">redmed<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technolope.livejournal.com\/\">technolope<\/a>, and others \u2026 but most of it has just been grinding away at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now I find myself looking at fall, and thence to winter. Wondering what the future holds. I would start on some of these projects \u2013 but we have houseguests for something like the third or fourth straight weekend \u2013 and I\u2019m off on four more weeks of business travel starting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, I have cats to come and give me head-bumps when I sit and think too long without typing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BONK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the somewhat overhyped passage of hurricane Earl (AKA rev_e), the lawn got some much needed rain \u2013 but things are otherwise stable.
