Wall of Shame (Back By "Popular" Demand)

Dear Annie (and, of course, my other devoted followers),

It's shameful that I haven't written a new one of these in...oh, six weeks. I don't even know what has happened. It's finally Fall here in Jackson, which is just wonderful. We are doing a lot of bike riding and meeting new people and gearing up to start our Fall visits--mine start the weekend of October 8, in Auburn. And the week after that I am off to Saratoga to reunite with some of the best and the brightest (hopefully someone from 60s will read this, like maybe Elena).

Today begins Simchat Torah, the Jewish holiday where you start the whole story from the beginning. It's also the anniversary of my Bat Mitzvah. So maybe both of those things mean that today it's time to start fresh and rekindle this endeavor--bring the love back to the blog. Or something like that. I'm sort of tired.

See some of you in 16 days.

Love, Claire
