Out of time

Sigh. I had so much I wanted to talk about today. Blood. Grapes. Butterflies. The "coal miner mentality." Mariolatry. What it's like to watch all of your friends turn 40, knowing you're not far behind.

But I tarried too long during my after-dinner shopping trip, and now it is time to go to bed, to begin my next four-day shift. So I don't have time to go into detail on any of these topics.

I did, however, get lots of keen Autumn decorations for the house!
