Tawny

Steinbeck's Tawny Light of Autumn was prevalent today. Gorgeous drive to the Homestead, half the scenery resplendent gold, half already gone. Stick season come early. We had beef stew and lots of Burgundy, and lots of laughs around table and woodstove. Great to be in such a great place with family and friends, finally. I'm a lucky lad.

Two Days in October

Autumn in Vermont

Live from Burlington! I'm at the Vermont Pub & Brewery, with a Handsome Mick's Smoked Stout before me, along with the rest of the afternoon. Just had a spectacular Turkey & Bacon with Vermont Cheddar and Granny Smith slices on a grilled ciabatta, and gravy fries await. Very happy now - one of my favorite places in the world during my favorite season with my favorite and only sweet patootie.

Dudley Moore has been dug up and planted on the patio with a Witte! Can't wait to see what else I'll see the rest of the day. More to come...

Look Ma, No Wires!

This is a first. I am tapping out this dispatch on my CrackBerry while hurtling north on the Maine Turnpike at 70. As Maynard G. Krebs (the G stood for Walter) would say, what an age we live in!

Fabulous dinner with fabulous company, self-styled three day weekend ahead, Freyburg Fair tomorrow night, Vermont on Saturday. Life is peachy keen. And I am now a phone blogger. Jesus!
