Just a quick note on the passage of time for the wanderers. The silver maple trees here have started to change color signifying the change of season pretty dramatically. No other trees have started this annual process and we have only had a couple of 45 degree nights, but no matter where you look the maples are done for the year.

I guess it is about time to start thinking about heading back toward Texas before the first snowfall ... hey, the hockey sticks and ice skates are in the stores now!
