A Long October

This month is going to be rough. I am trying to have a positive outlook and do the best that I can.

Since I have been back in Salt Lake, it has mostly been gray skies and rain. Except that last few days have been beautiful and sunny, with the falls leaves glowing on the trees. Fall is my favorite season. I have fond memories of walking home from elementary school during this time of year, crunching the leaves under my shoes, my nose pink from the chilly air.

Fall also inspires me to read a good book. It is on the agenda.

Have you heard the new Iron & Wine album? My god, it is amazing and you must get it. I don't even know who I am talking to right now, or if anyone reads this blog, but whoever you are, go buy Iron and Wine's The Shepherd's Dog.

To be able to get online on my laptop I have to go somewhere with (preferrably free) wireless. That usually leads me to my favorite downtown coffee shop. There is nothing great about the coffee here, and infact the tea is pretty damn horrible. But, for some reason I like this place.
