OK, technically it's not fall yet for another two weeks, and in truth it's just starting to feel like summer. But my retired-teacher brain says once school is back in session, it's fall. I'm still working on my spring and summer pages, but I might just get inspired to scrap something that's current in my life, instead of always trying to catch up with the events that have flown by already.

Ten years ago, we were in Europe on a paragliding vacation. Our perspective on the terrorist attack of September 11 is probably quite different from that of those of you who were at home in the U.S. on that day.
