Juncos!

Fall is generally a depressing time, even with the colors, because the turning of the year means no more flowers or butterflies for months, and the rainy days we often have in October foreshadow bleak, gray winter. But this morning, the damp and gray was lightened by magical golden light from the sun poking through a hole in the clouds as I got in my car, and in my front yard I saw one of the really nice things about fall: the first juncos are back.

OVFF plans

If anyone is interested in planning something with me in advance, let me know (respond here, or if you want to keep it private, email me (tigertoy at livejournal dot com if you don't have another address for me)).

I'd feel warm and fuzzy if I actually knew in advance that I had something to do for dinner Friday. I'm not planning on doing the banquet Saturday, so I'd also love to arrange something for dinner Saturday. If anyone wants to plan something musical with me or include me on some plan they already have that isn't in the program, let me know that too.

Also, anyone who wants an EFRC calendar, let me know if you haven't already. I will have a few extras along, but not too many. If you won't see me in person this year, but someone you will see is coming to OVFF, have them give me your $15 and take your calendar to you. (markiv1111, is there someone coming from Mpls who could mongol yours to you?)

Restrung

Both guitars restrung.  I'm still hopelessly out of practice and I haven't learned any new material, but at least my instruments are ready for OVFF now.
