Morning Update

It's a beautiful day here in Connecticut, with a bright blue sky, sunlight, and a breeze. It really feels like the beginning of fall, and here and there the leaves are starting to change. Patches of gold and bright pink are appearing in the trees.

We had a nice visit with Marty's dad and stepmom. They are headed south today, back towards North Carolina. I'm glad they could get up here for a visit.

Driving in today, I played Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry" a couple of times. I love the way he sings the line, "Everything's gonna be all right." I'm using this song on one of my world music mixes, and using a different version of it (by Olodum) on another. The Olodum version is interesting -- it has those Brazilian drums at the beginning. It's very grounded, I guess. Bob Marley's, to me, is much more ethereal. I like them both.

"No, little sister, don't shed no tear. No, woman, no cry."

I read an article from The Washington Post that really pulls together a lot of what happened during the attacks: September 11, 2001. This is a disturbing story, but I was glad I read it.
