I'm going to go ahead and say it: This summer was a bit of a disappointment. Don't you agree? It rained all of June; July came and went; and I'm not sure what happened to August. And now September has come and gone. How has this happened?
That said, I made it through about half my summer to-do list. Now, onto fall, which I enjoy even more than summer. In fact, this morning, I woke up with the windows open and the cool air breezing in and I felt happier than I have in a long time. So, here goes ... this fall, I will:
* Hike Breakneck Ridge
* Go to Maine and visit Salt Water Farm -- DONE! I went last weekend for my birthday. More on that soon, when I get my pictures developed. (Yes, developed. I shot with film if you can believe it ...)
* Sit on the edge of Lake Metacomet
* Volunteer at the New York Marathon again
* Go to two weddings in the midwest -- one in Chicago this weekend, the other in Minnesota
* Volunteer at 826 Brooklyn
* Apple pick
* Meet baby Elsa, the daughter of my friend from my Country Home days, in Virginia
* Spend the rest of my 5 vacation days, which means I just might go back to Oregon and spend it on the coast. Maybe!
Anything else? What are you doing this fall?

great list, sounds busy! i've had a few friends that have worked at 826 and it seems like a great organization. let us know how it goes!
while i can't in good conscience stand in the way of a PDX trip, europe is only a short but equally carbon heavy jaunt away :)
Breakneck Ridge - awesome! May I suggest that you plan to spend some time in Beacon and/or Cold Spring when you go? There are cute spots in both towns to check out. Have an awesome time. The coast is calling...
wheee i'm trained at 826CHI now...awaiting my first TA position :)
