Take me out
What is it about the playoffs that can get even confirmed baseball agnostics like me interested? These Boston-New York games have been thrilling. I have developed a crush on Red Sox reliever Bronson Arroyo.

At the movies
Yesterday afternoon I finally saw Fahrenheit 9/11 on the big screen. I laughed a lot. I would hate to be the woman who screams "Blame Al Qaida!" at the grieving mother whose son was killed in Iraq. I wonder if that nasty person saw the film.
There are a lot of sad people in Fahrenheit 9/11. After I saw it, I came home and popped in the screener of Wellstone!, a documentary about the late Minnesota senator that's playing at the Orpheum this weekend. There are lot of sad people in that film too.
It was quite a day for lefty documentaries with sad people.

Spooky
It pleases me that my hometown of Mt. Juliet, Tenn. has rescheduled Halloween this year so it doesn't conflict with church services.

There's a nice picture of me in the insert, and also here.

Splendid nature
Autumn in Wisconsin surprises me every year. It's so beautiful, and I'm almost more in love with the sight of falling leaves than I am with the bright colors of the leaves themselves.
On Sunday Ereck and I felt ambitious after brunch and headed north in the Ranger to check out the foliage. It was very pretty, especially a particularly breathtaking valley east of Lodi. We also enjoyed the red barns, and the pumpkins everywhere.
North of Lodi we encountered a mass of idle cars, and we wondered what was happening. Then we realized: it was a crowd of Sunday drivers eager to get in one last ride on the Merrimac ferry before it shuts down for the winter. We were tempted, but lines were long. Another time, we said. Besides, it runs 24 hours, so we could go tonight if we wanted to.
