Back from a somewhat productive meeting, a sound person meeting, and then picking up no packages and having a small Caesar and pasta papa at Hugo's. Very full and logy from that, but will have to jog in about three hours.

Page three? Really?

Yes, really. And just now, too.

I cannot remember a Halloween season in which so much "pumpkin spice" stuff was made available.

EVERYTHING seems to be available in pumpkin spice, including coffee.

To all of it, I say "YUCK".

I saw (but didn't read) an article about all the pumpkin spice products that will be or are already available this year. That seems to be the flavor/scent of the year. I've even seen a pumpkin spice scented body wash.

At that Jack O'Lantern Blaze we went to last week, they had a tent full of gift/souvenir items with more pumpkin flavored/scented crap than you could shake a stick at. Everything hugely overpriced, of course, but with the exception of one or two little snack things, there was nothing I would have been even remotely tempted to buy.

And I do enjoy me some pumpkin. In fact, pumpkin spice coffee is the only flavored coffee I'll drink. I never go looking for it, but I've had it a few times and it's a flavor that works for me.

There was this article in the New York Times about a month ago, where the first section was on the proliferation of pumpkin foods.

Listening to the remaining Alwyn music - I had to nuke the final two volumes of film music because I found the sound and performances so annoying. Violin concerto was lovely and now listening to his first piano concerto.

We had a delightful several hours at Monticello, then we made our way to the University of Virginia to admire Thomas Jefferson's "Academical Village." In the bookstore, all the apparel has my name on it so I bought a hooded sweatshirt.

And a question for DR Elmore:

Was it you who liked the pumpkin raisin cookies I brought down a couple of years ago? How about Ben and Anthony? Just had some, and I think they're particularly good this year. I'll be stocking up on extras so let me know how many cartons I should bring down when I'm back from Ohio.

Yum!

We stopped at the car dealership to have work done on the car. Whill waiting game, we walked 3 miles to See'some candy so I could stock up. We made stops at Best Buy and Costco on the return trip. The car was early andays we are now at The Bard'so Inn.

It began raining as we left Medford and is still raining. Since we are walking G to the restaurant I hope we don't get too wet.

And on that note (C-natural), I'm off. I'm going to my sister's to help move my niece's bed back in place after she painted her room. It's a very heavy IKEA bed, but at least it doesn't need to be moved far...just a couple of feet.

Be back later.

DR Ron asked if anyone is watching THE DURRELLS IN CORFU. I'd planned to, but PBS seems to have taken episode 1 off their website. Honestly, I can't make heads or tails of their website. They've changed it several times and somehow it's never any better.

Between waking up at 3:30 am from a bad dream and UCLA's ineptitude, my day was wasted. I did stop on my way home for some enchiladas, so there was that, but HONESTLY!

I just woke up from a nap and am pretty groggy.

Jane, do you find that Vancouver has as much to offer as did Ashland, or perhaps Ashland has some favorites and Vancouver others?

TCB, I'm pleased to hear about the new rehearsal space. I hoped it's all resolved to your complete satisfaction.
