November. Buttoning up the last of the summer season and hunkering down for winter.

Buddy caught some of the lobstermen heading out in November one cold morning a few years ago. He wrote: “Had a little ‘sea smoke’ in the harbor the other morning. Getting a little wintry feeling. Pleasure boats have pretty much disappeared, and at the rate some traps are coming ashore... the work boats won’t be far behind.”

And here we are, once again, as the seasons turn.

I’m aiming to have the new manuscript entirely wrapped before Thanksgiving, so am going to go to bed early to get a jump on the last of this round of edits in the morning.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

Nice article in BC Magazine. You may not speak for your employer, but they are clearly proud to have you:)

Just to be clear, one thing Gretchen and I are thankful for this year, as in the past, is the informed, gracious, sometimes exciting essays of Heather Cox Richardson. Hooray! Ed Hillard, Palo Alto, CA
