Fall Found


Here it is! Fall foliage in New England. There's not much of it yet. I'm told its been too warm so far for a lot of the leaves to turn, but we found this gorgeous tree strutting her stuff on the Yale campus this weekend.

We found Handsome Dan (the mascot) sitting outside the Yale Bowl before the football game:


You can see a couple of trees starting to turn colors. Yale beat Lehigh so El Jefe was very excited.

We were treated to glorious fall weather Saturday and Sunday, but returned to rain, humidity and temperatures in the low 90's. We enjoyed the break while it lasted!

El Jefe and I spent Friday morning at the historic Grove Street cemetery where I found the tombstones of two of my family's ancestors. That adventure is worthy of a post of its own, which I'll put up later this week.

Good to be back!

Boola! Boola! Go Yale!

Did you get to see a rugby match? Yale's got a pretty good A-side 15.(That's rugby-speak for varsity 15)

Our son plays scrumhalf and flyhalf for his college team. It's wild to watch.
