⇧ Well, as an American who has never been to England, I still feel a great kinship to England. No England, no America.

Save your pennies, the offer to escort around London is still on. And we can put you wise on such things as: Stonehenge, York Minster and other cultural centres. Scotland's fine cities and the rugged beauty of The Highlands. The legacy of the industrial revolution, like Iron Bridge, the canal system, restored industrial buildings. The magnificence of the city of Bath. Come and enjoy, furthermore, if you think you may have ancestry from our Islands, we have amazing records detailing such things. You never know, you might be royalty, born on the wrong side of the bed sheet, ten times removed, Your Majesty.

A very generous offer - thank you. I'd love to see everything you listed plus Bletchley Park and Churchill's war bunker (I read too much WWII history). Also, my girlfriend is from the Clan MacDonald - I on the other hand and from the Mutts O' America - but really want to see Scotland. Hopefully, they'll be a time in our lives when time and money allow. Right now, our aging parents require both and that's how it should be - we feel lucky that we can help (sincerely, we think about what if we couldn't - not pretty).

I suddenly want to go to one of those odd fly-by-night Halloween stores.

All the Halloween candy has shown up in the stores except for the Russell Stovers orange marshmallow pumpkins - this cannot stand. That's how I kick off the Halloween candy season - with an orange marshmallow pumpkin. Where is Corporate America's much vaunted greed when you need it - there's a sale they are missing, that's not supposed to happen.

As a kid I liked Halloween because at the department store candy counters you could get a bag of jellybeans that were all orange and licorice. These were the only flavors I really liked. I still do but the candy counters are gone. Drat.

The lovely feeling when even the flowers get in on the fall colors:
