the reading lights
Bought Mom reading lights to clip on her glasses so she will read more often and more comfortably. She says they're too weird to wear! Not too weird for *me*. I like 'em!

Halloween Phils
@ the Clubhouse on Halloween watching Phils/Yanks. Many were in costume. A guy have the gall to show up in blackface. No costume, just blackface.We silently stared him down until he left. I wish instead they would have let me drop some history on him.

watching leaves change from green to yellow and reading "The Thing Around Your Neck" by Chimanda Ngozi Adichie. So very tired today. The rest and her beautiful writing are giving me energy.
Back for Seconds
@ the Clubhouse Thursday night for second Phillies/Yankees game of the 2009 World Series. Yanks won 3-1. No one very upset because we'd taken one @ their yard and now we come home for three games.
