Feeling Autumnally Equinoxed

From Wikipedia

An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the center of the Sun being in the same plane as the Earth'sequator. The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) andnox (night), because around the equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long. It may be better understood to mean that latitudes +L and -L north and south of the Equator experience nights of equal length.

I have to say that the Internets are wonderful. Because of them I have a Blogfriend in Arizona. I have never met him but I read his blog every day and he reads mine. I found another blog to read today through him and through that found a wonderful artist. Levi Kreis has become one of my new favorite artists. If you click on the link you will find a web site which plays his music. He had never popped up on my radar before. I also found that he has a Facebook page which he appears to update himself. Speaking of Facebook the title from this post came from Anne who used to live across the street from me when I lived on Southdale. (I still miss that house and neighborhood but the back yard here is better for the boys.) She put it up as her Facebook Status a few days early and now that we are actually there I thought I would use it.

My status for today is the Chesterton quote which I also found as I was fishing around the blogs. Come to think of it I got it from the same blog where I discovered Levi..

I finished my book "Sword of Avalon" last evening. It was about the making of Excalibur and it was one of the best Avalon books I have ever read. I have another one to pick up today. The greatest thing about being retired is that I can read if I want to. When I want to... most of the time.

I really hate being sick and I think I am finally over it. I drove to Sioux City last Thursday and have been sick until yesterday. It makes me down. I haven't felt much like anything and I am sure it showed. In fact Shrinky called me on it. I think things are on the upswing again. I have some things to think about and they have been on my mind of late. Right now I am looking forward to eating out with the York Rite at Hickory Park tonight. (Which is a good thing because I only have soup in the cupboard - must get to the grocery store.) and Specialis Procer Lodge on Friday Night and a trip to Iowa City for the Grand Master of the Grand Council Reception on Saturday. Good thing I am better now.

My friend Kurt has finished his Kitchen Remodel and the pictures look wonderful. I am glad for him and for Lyssa. Now perhaps he will have time to do some other things (like finishing fixing the ceiling. October is going to be a busy month. Which is a good thing. The boys are getting tired of having me around. They spend most of the day sleeping at my feet and then when the new TV shows come on that I want to watch Miles wants to play. I throw the toy for him and he climbs up on my lap to snuggle. He is a wonderful dog (but you knew that) - Well this is Hump day so happy humping...dont let the wingnuts get you down. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs, j
