I want to offer an apology to all the people I should be calling, or hanging out with, or otherwise spending time interacting with, because I have not done those things much lately.
For a few weeks now, most of what I have been concerned with is trying to get some rest.

Geoff and I have wanted to go panning for gold or gem hunting for a long time. I have had the bug for a particularly long time since I’ve been reading about gems and minerals since I was a wee geek.

My favorite season is autumn, especially here in New England. I love walking and hiking in autumn, when the trees are turning and the weather is just perfect for being outside. And in the fall you have all these wonderful holidays, one after another. This year is a bit different because we are working so much, and so many holidays will be work days for us. Working for a church as I do means that most big holidays are work days. Even Thanksgiving. Still, I love fall, and I will try to take advantage of the season when I can.
