Holy crap–it’s still nice out and the nice weather is supposed to continue for at least another week. This is unprecedented. Due to this, I’m ahead of the game in regard to fall clean-up activities. Despite the fact that it gets dark so early, I’ve been able to get outside for at least 30 minutes a day.
acceptance
Jake applied to two colleges, IUP and UPJ, and was accepted to both! He’s decided to go to UPJ and will be commuting in order to save some money. We’ve been saving for college since he was born and are hoping that we’ll be able to cover all of the tuition costs, but he would have had to get a student loan for the room and board end of things (and wisely decided that his money could be better spent elsewhere). Anyway, he’ll be majoring in business management. It’ll be good to have someone around the office that actually knows something about business. Haha.
In other news, he only needed a few classes in order to graduate from high school, so he’s doing a work study with us for the school year. He’s really good at photography and videography, so we’ve been able to put him on a number of client projects. And this was great timing as we had an employee quit at the beginning of the month (and guess what this employee did? photography and videography).
indian summer
We might be in the midst of an Indian Summer but the cold spell from a few weeks ago just about killed off everything in the garden. Oddly enough, except for the zucchini–I actually picked three more yesterday, though it’s about done now. I never had a zucchini plant live this long. So, I’ve been cleaning up the garden as I have time. Before you know it, it will be time to plant garlic.
But the weather sure has been beautiful. And it looks like it’s going to continue for a little while longer. And then it will be winter.
eric tessmer band
Eric Tessmer was in town for a free show at Peoples Natural Gas Park. We always like to catch him when he’s in town, so we made a point of going there Saturday night. It was a good show. There were a decent amount of people there, but you would think a free show like this would have a better turnout. That’s Johnstown for you.
mistaken identity
This was another one from Lisa Scottoline. If you’ve read one, you’ve read them all. It was an ok book, but nothing special. Something about one twin representing another twin (that was previously unknown) in court.
My rating: 3/5
