Darkness

Tis the season where so much of the day is spent in the dark.  You wake in the dark, and you eat dinner in the dark.  Tomorrow it will be dark at 4:39 PM.  And there's a month and a half of days still getting shorter, before the solstice and a turning toward the light.  November is always a hard month for me. 

I'm up in the dark packing for a trip to Boston.  Big regatta this weekend.  And I have not one, but two dates while I'm away.  It's supposed to be wet and cold today, sunny and warm tomorrow.  And a Halloween party tonight.  Packing is trickier than usual.
