Catching some hockey would’ve been on the list, but so much for that. Still on the agenda, my wife and I are 50/50 on going to the Grand Canyon but that’s completely dependent on our winter plans which are very undecided at the moment. I’m taking my best friend to the Greenbrier for a few days. In general we’ll be getting out and hiking a lot – probably most weekends and if were lucky an overnight or two, almost certainly check out an Oktoberfest, definitely doing some apple picking (and associated cooking!), and likely more “going out” downtown once the heat and mosquitoes are stomped on a little more.
Less activity oriented, but still on the list, we’ll be “fall cleaning” – like spring cleaning but, you know, in fall. We’ve got a lot of plants in need of new pots, winterizing our property, and if we’re going to be hosting people for Christmas we’ll probably try to get our painting done early.
Oh, and let’s not forget watching some playoff baseball (I’ve got at least one team in and a couple others threatening, and if I’m lucky tickets to at least one game), lots of weekend grilling, chilly evening drinks out back, a good cigar or two on nice crisp fall nights, and plenty of fires in the fireplace (hopefully it’ll get cold enough soon!).
