Yes, it is 11:45 pm on a Saturday night. It’s just me and Lucy hanging out together and Lucy has apparently already called it a night.

So it’s just me.

I loved how crisp and brisk the air was today on this truly Autumn-esque day. I could stand for it to stay this way for the next month or so.

I visited my usual Franklin haunts and still managed to be home on a Saturday by 9 pm. How sad is that? I need to think of some new Franklin places to haunt.

But fall does something to me. It reminds me of just about all my happy childhood memories and the people who aren’t here anymore and even some of my old pets who aren’t here anymore.

I’m reading a very interesting book called Pastrix by Nadia Bolz-Weber. I don’t agree with all her politics or theology, but it is a well-written book with some occasionally profound insights. Read it at your own risk (it has some very non-Baptist words in it).

I’ll keep you informed on my my next choice of book after this one, as well as any notable restaurants or coffee shops I visit. As always, err on the side of grace, especially when it comes to your own faults and weaknesses.

Good night out there in social media land.
