Alive

Just like the title says. We had a very succesful Polidori party Saturday--thanks for all of you who came and had fun with us...I don't even remember when was the last time I laughed so hard I was crying, but I did.
We also had not one, but two visits from our favorite Artillery Officer (tm) :-), and I got up the courage to go and see 30 Days of Night with him and The Husband the second time. Wow. Still a good flick.
What else? The library is up, we just need to reorganize the books into subcategories; the Wall of Death (tm) will be redesigned and put back up as soon as The Husband can get out from under grading, and November finally starts to color the trees like it was a fall proper.
That's about it, right now...life is good, in a quiet, unassuming, cozy way, as it should be. No small feat, that.
