I can't believe it's already November 4th! Summer was way too short this year, autumn was way too short this year, this year was way too short this year. I guess I am getting old... time is just flying by. But with November upon us, it's almost time for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to some good turkey this year. We might actually have thanksgiving dinner either at our house, or up to the lake this year. We have done it before with just a few visitors, buit this year it looks like we would have a houseful if we do it. Of course we would break out the Brined Roasted Turkey recipe. There really is no better way to cook a turkey. Not sure what stuffing we would do though. Probably go with a traditional sausage stuffing. My mouth is watering already with 3 weeks to go.

It's funny how times (people) change?

Nothing! That's what I have to talk about. Well it seems that way anyway. I actually have had a busy few weeks, but nothing really seems worthy of writing about. The moose was exciting, but since then I have been racking my brain to come up with something interesting to write about. Like I said, it's been a busy week, I even made a trip to NYC to see the Yankees in game 1 of the ALCS (thanks Tom.) They won, it was a great game. It was a little cold for baseball, but still, a great game. But other than that, it's just normal day to day stuff. Yard work, work work, getting ready for winter, etc... Maybe that's it? It's the change of seasons. The weather has turned too quickly from summer to fall. In fact, we kind of skipped fall all together. It's cold! The days are short, and I miss summer already. We are in limbo between summer and winter. Sot that's it, no pictures, no tale of a trip that we have taken, no witty story about something funny that happened. I've got nothing, it worked for Seinfeld, I figured I would give it a try... Enjoy.

Just a quick update. The leaves have changed, and a lot have already fallen. we are past peak up at the lake, but I have a couple of pictures from last weekend when the colors were better.   But the real excitement happened on our way home on Columbus day. We have been going up to the Adirondacks for a long time, and have seen a lot of wildlife over the years, but this was our first encounter with a Moose. I named him Christopher because of the Columbus day holiday. I borrowed a couple of these photos (taken by Ted Merrihew) from the article in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise. Check it out.    It was amazing to see this young bull moose just hanging out by the lake. He didn't seem to care about the 50 or so people stopped along the road gawking at him. I wonder what we will see next? Oh and there are a few more long distance pics of the moose in the gallery.
