Driving home tonight, from the point of view of my steering wheel.

Our cat sleeps with his eyes open a lot. It s always a mystery whether he ll wake up and react to being messed with or he ll just lay there in his tranced-out state. Sorry about the low light and autofocus. I was afraid he d wake up if I got up and turned on a spotlight. I justified it out-of-focus looks like semi-conscious. But it doesn t. It just looks like amateur. But I don t care, I got the shot before he woke up.

Fall leaves - raking and playing in them - have made us nostalgic. So this week we focused on positive memories we have from our school days and asked ourselves what memories we are creating for our own students.

Behind the Scottsdale Community College Performing Arts Center there are five or six towering mulberry trees, old ones. When I leave campus at dusk, there is an absolute riot of birds hanging out in all of these huge trees. Their chattering echoes back and forth between to brick buildings. It s like the last great gossip session before bedtime. I can t decide whether they remind me of a gang of news channel pundits run amok, or of the slumber parties attended by girls in their confusing and hyper-emotional teen years. Some days I think one way, some days another. And some days, my brain goes to The Birds, and I hurry to my car and drive quietly away before they notice me nearby.

Just one tiny moment, but it blew my mind. We have some of the best sunsets ever. When I see something so gorgeous, I always feel the sky loves me. I used a teensy snippet of music performed by D-Squared. It s their cover of Buckeye Jim.

I love Maya s Farm, where I m a CSA member. This is my share of the food booty this week I get one of each item. I m personally thrilled the turnips are back. My favorite way to eat them is raw, dressed with a little vanilla olive oil, honey and white wine vinegar. I ll be eating these babies now through winter and into spring.
