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.

@ 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.

Belliveau & O'Donnell:
Their pictures were stunning, their stories remarkable.
