Jack O Lantern

We have a couple pumpkins all dressed up for Halloween.

Night Walks

We shift our walks to night around this time of the year to catch Halloween decorations then of course Christmas lights. Love seeing what the nieghbors are doing to welcome the season.

Minus Boys

First pumpkin harvest without the boys along. A little sad but it was we made the best of it.

Pool Shark

Actually I'm the pool shark, beating Sam 5-0 on a rainy afternoon at The Rack in Des Moines. Had a great weekend with the kid, parents and aunt. Unfortunately my trips to and from DSM averaged 7 hours of delays each due to computer failures, rebooking on different days and weather. I did make it to Des Moines 7 hours late on Friday, missing dinner with everyone and got home 7 hours late on Monday, missing a good workout. I'm sure I will return regardless of the issues.

Yellow

The trees are turning on campus.

Drake Morning

Long day yesterday but woke to a crisp fall day. Covid cancelled the football game but we will find something else to do.

Stuck in Chicago

Flight one was early, flight two, cancelled. Instead of arriving at 3:30 and having dinner with mom, dad, Sam and Robbie, I'm eating crap from the United Club by myself. Looks like I should be in Des Moines by 9:15 now.

Morning Moon

I kinda like getting into the office when it's dark. Still going in Tuesdays and Thursdays and it should be dark at 7am for most if the next few months, minus a week or two after DST.

First Fire

It's barely cold enough but a cold front came in while were at Dylan's rugby game and dropped the temperature 15 degrees in 3 minutes. It was followed by a ton of rain and wind which made the end of the game fun. The longest summer in recent memory is finally gone and the chimney was swept so a fire is in the box.

Fall

No fires yet but the chill is on the way.

Forward

This is from last weeks game against Maryland. They won big and Dylan played a full game on B side. He was good on all his conversion kicks and ran and tackled well. They have the weekend off and he's headed home on the train today. It will be good to have him in the house for a few days.
