The main reason that I am writing this post for you, ladies and gentlemen, is because yesterday, the 18th of October, 2012, a Thursday, was a most fateful day in the universe. The first thing that made it fateful was that it was the first day of fall (I started a tradition many years back that it is not officially fall until I have caught a falling leaf). I was sitting at lunch, waiting for my hodge-podge of friends to join me at my table (it was not really until this year that I could claim a hodge-podge of lunch friends, but as it is, I've managed to draw together a wonderfully dysfunctional motley group). To pass the time, I was watching the leaves fall from the tree that is in the little courtyard right in front of the entrace to the building. I was willing one of the leaves to fly in my direction, but they weren't cooperating, so I turned the other way to see if any of my friends were coming - only to see a leaf coming right at my face. Mildly injuring myself and dropping my backpack, I thrust my palms to my face and managed to trap the leaf between them, and had thus fulfilled the first-day-of-fall requirements. The caught leaf is currently residing in mylunch box.
The other fateful thing about yesterday was that Hopey and I managed to knock out the last twenty pages of Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone last night and we'll be watching the movie tomorrow, hopefully. Then, we'll be plunging right into the second one, and so on.
My new blog proposal is this: I have made a lot of ridiculous etch-a-sketch pictures, but people seem to like them all right (to give you an idea, a manager at Mayberry approached me today as I dined with my mother and asked me if I had my etch-a-sketch because he had seen me at it months ago when I stopped in there and he was intrigued). So, I'm considering starting a blog based entirely off of the etch-a-sketch drawings, posting them and such. We'll have to see how that goes.
