...the inexorable descent into winter. We still have five or so weeks until peak foliage, but it did snow here on October 1 (or 4? I forget) my freshman year at Cornell.
But this isn't stopping the Gardener in Chief from adding a last blast of color to the front of the house.
We had been thinking about taking a trip back East for the long weekend, but Rosemary and team is about to Go Live (after 10 looooong years) with the first chunk of the Student System, so taking the extra days around the weekend to dodge the traffic is out of the question. Just to add insult to injury, the New York Times published a survey of the best fried clam shacks in New England. No mention of the Hingham Lobster Pound, but Lenny's Indian Head, my regular stopping point when in Guilford, was well-received.
Anyway, going live with the Student System is a HUGE deal. Student is at least one, if not two orders of magnitude more complicated than the Contributor Relations system that we brought online...gasp...Four Years ago. And we're still trying to get that straight.
