Another change of seasons
Cue Buffalo Tom:::
Each year I come back to this song as summer comes to a close. If you are a baseball fan, the season changes can mean pennant fever. BUT, if you are still a Pirate fan, it means enduring another losing season (17!) and watching young players flail in the worst stretch of games ever played in Pittsburgh. Oddly, my new hometown team of the Indians are doing the very same thing.
Hey Ian, how 'bout them Nationals? Or maybe the O's?
Of course, Stiller Nell would remind us of the new FOOTBALL season, and I am happy to see the young Penguins start up another hockey season after winning the grandest trophy of all.
And for those who do not follow sports, you may now enjoy hot soup again. You have my permission. Has anyone had a good bowl of soup in the last few days? A turkey-based batch is in my immediate future. Yum.

Happy 9/9/9 !
Today is a big day if you're a Beatles fan; I know a lot of T-land inhabitants are. I thought posting a Beatles song might be a bit obvious. Still, I feel today requires some celebration. Red velvet cupcakes come to mind. Since no one's yet perfected food transmission via the internet, I offer this gem. It combines many of my favorite things: art, science and music in a joyful way. Barack would be proud. Happy Day everyone!
