On my new bus, I managed to get a glimpse of the trees. The starlings are back, nesting like they did in mid-fall amongst the yellowing maple leaves, looking like large black pears.

Why so late? The birds seem to congregate on the trees that are half de-leafed. More branches, more space. This year the trees were a bit more stressed and yellowed sooner, but they must be dropping their leaves only now.

Lost one pound - I'm at 191. My new goal is to be under 190 for Thanksgiving. Hee hee - so I can get seconds. Actually, it's my last exciting show for friends - I started gym class the week before Thanksgiving last year. Many of those friends hadn't seen me since.
