Writing: The hunt for a good place to write on Tuesday nights continues. I've found a place on the north bank of the Willamette River that has a nice ambiance (sound-buffering carpeting and wood paneled decor) and decent enough wooden tables/booths and chairs. And it's kind of expensive to order any food there (which probably explains why it isn't overrun with undergraduates). I suppose that I could try just ordering a salad, which could help manage the expense and would leave me less open to grease-induced indigestion. Oh well... I had a nice session there just writing and not editing too much and managed to pound out about a thousand words (maybe not the best words, and probably disjointed, but I'm going to take them, anyway).
On the technology front: I think I may be using my mobile phone for Internet stuff too much. The convenience of being able to check e-mail and Facebook is probably leading to over-use, so I guess it's time to use the user diagnostic tools and keep my daily usage down. I think my eyesight and posture will improve.
The days have been sunny and in the 50's and 60's, which makes the middle of the days pleasant for being outside. Alas, most of the mornings and evenings have been foggy or overcast, so viewing the crescent moon's transit past Aldebaran in Taurus and Regulus in Leo have been impossible. However, the other morning (thanks cats) I did manage to see a scintillating Orion and Sirius near the meridian.On the Halloween Front: this is the weekend for decking the halls with pumpkins, and... Mark has gone on a solo hike, I've got a writers' event, we're visiting family, The Child is volunteering at a local haunted house, and a bunch of other domestic tasks are interfering with Halloween Spookiness. I'll have to break out the Box Of Halloween Decor while Mark's gone.
