Today:

3 research paper rough drafts done.
21 to go.

Julia is in the front yard raking leaves.

Peter is on the living room floor, playing some serious chess. He has books out and is writing down his moves.

Adam is in the kitchen cooking hamburgers and French fries.

Anna is in her room, quiet and secretive, as usual.

Philip is at work. On his Facebook, he describes his work as "the world's best job." That's nice.

All the windows and doors are open in the house, and the fresh fall breezes are blowing through. Perhaps I'm enjoying reading Emerson this year, for the first time. I usually find him annoying.

Now, I will go eat the last piece of chocolate cake :)
