With the somewhat overhyped passage of hurricane Earl (AKA rev_e<\/a>), the lawn got some much needed rain – but things are otherwise stable. The rain knocked some fraction of the pollon out of the air for a few brief hours, which is very nice. As I’ve aged, my ragweed allergy has matured into something wondrous to behold – leading me to think of this as the season of free hangovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It’s fall, and another summer has passed by. Not really “passed” so much, and squeezed around and through my insane schedule. This summer was better than last – insofar as we weren’t buying a house and trying to move. I grew some porch tomatoes and made several batches of gazpacho … something sorely lacking last year. The majority of the CSA produce went either into our bellies or into the freezer … with minimal waste into the compost heap. We spent evening after evening laughing and cooking with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, while the summer has been good, overall, the year has been too hectic by far. tripit<\/a> tells me that I’ve been on the road 87 nights out of approximately 250 so far this year. That’s way too high – 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 redmed<\/a>, technolope<\/a>, and others … but most of it has just been grinding away at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 – but we have houseguests for something like the third or fourth straight weekend – and I’m off on four more weeks of business travel starting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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
