Breezing into fall

Leaves start to change in Cades Cove near Townsend, Tenn., Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2005. Green leaves turning crispy brown do not bode well for a masterpiece autumn in the Smokies and other high elevations in the South as dry, hot weather slows the color peak. ``Fall color progress has been slow,'' said Great Smoky Mountains National Park spokeswoman Nancy Gray.

I haven't seen any leaves changing in this fall, but the weather has suddenly and unexpectedly changed for the better. The nasty humidity that slapped us in the face the minute we stepped off the plane has been replaced by cool breezes that have allowed us to open the windows, turn on the attic fan and finally enjoy the weater. I hear from my two Montana connections that there is already snow on the ground up there in some areas. Here it is gray, wet and leafy -- perfect sleeping weather. I haven't had time to do the wedding blog -- been too busy with work, school and cleaning for company, but it is in the works. I have had a great week full of happy memories, phone calls and e-mails from college friends I haven't talked to in years who wanted to see wedding pictures and hear all about the trip. Sadly the Red Sox got eliminated from the wild card race by the other Sox of Chicago. It doesn't deter from how great last weekend was and how much I want to go back and see more of that great city.

It was a great weekend to stay in bed and be lazy. It was dark, gray, and dreary....

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
