It's fallish here

at least for the moment.

Cold-ish weather has set in and we've traded out the fans for the heaters. I guess it really is fall.

Wish I had a picture of something beautifully autumnal - red and orange leaves, crackling fires, atmospheric mist...but mostly what we have here is soggy brown leaves covering the garden, just making it look rather untidy. Perhaps tomorrow I need to get a pumpkin.

Ooh! I found something! Nothing says fall like Noah's pumpkin bagels and schmear, right?



How did we survive before we knew about these? Now if we could just get them to make them longer...

Once upon a time...

... way back in the early part of August, we took a trip to the Seattle area to see the Camster
(not to be confused with a Hamster though they do have some similarities

note the reddish fur ...er... hair, jaunty tilt of the head and amused smiles)

We did a few tourist-y things:

visited the space needle - which Tess and I found vaguely nauseating


bought crap souvenirs at the first Starbucks - Tess and I found this much less nauseating



ate space noodles - oops, more nausea - with the most indigestion-inducing pesto sauce ever produced.

enjoyed the tour at the Red Hook Ale brewery - new favorite beers found!

we did some not necessarily tourist-y things:

tried to furnish Cam's apartment - not so successfully - Wow, is he picky!

saw Young Frankenstein on it's way to Broadway. Fun! Great sets and all the best jokes are there - Roll, roll, roll in the hay...



celebrated Hillary's 15th birthday at the Cheesecake Factory with some of Cam's friends - nice.




and headed off into the sunset
