Time for my weekend update.  I am sitting in Sarah's office at the moment, taking advantage of her pc & internet.  Apparently there is a huge group of "Charismatic" Catholics meeting somewhere close above me - I don't know whether I ought to be amazed or terrified.

It is rainy & cool outside her window - a good Fall day.  It is Fall now, btw. - today is the first day.  Isn't that weird?  I have always thought both of the Equinoxes were on the 21st of the month, but my geography book informs me the Fall version of that event happens on the 23d.  I'm not sure I believe it, but at least it's true this year.

I was reading some British folk ballads with my seniors this week, so I brot in Simon & Garfunkel's rendition of "Barbriallen", which is a very lovely one indeed, if you have not heard it recently.  Now I'm having them write their own ballads; I usually write with them, & I began mine yesterday: I'm calling it "Witney of Wolden" (which phrase I stole from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, of course).

Anyhow, I must be away, ere break of soufflet!  Pax.

My old apartment, camp, the summer, & album work are all winding down. 

Winding up are the maths class Sarah & I are taking at HACC, the school year, Fall, my new apartment, & my last year of teaching before I go to grad school (Deo volente). 

I have spent today wearing dirty clothes - because I forgot to bring laundry to my parents house this weekend, extracting the rest of my junk from the old apartment, cleaning that location, washing Sarah's dishes, & preparing for classes.  Sound dull?  For some reason I am elated to be getting so much accomplished.

Vacation with Sarah's family approacheth!!
