Happy Autumnal Equinox to all you out there. Fall is on its way, I can feel it in my bones. Soon the days of jeans and sweatshirts will be around. Time to start cooking with squashes and root vegetables. Christmas shopping and the best thing of all to happen - my birthday (which is just a day or two before the winter solstice). So here goes the countdown!

It's been a Bee-You-Ti-Ful few days here in Jersey. And I rock cause I just got a raise. Life is good!

I did it! I finished my CD mix for my most recent CD exchange (14 people, each make a mix and then send them off to everyone on the list). A friend from grammer school got me hooked on the first one, and I had such a blast that I did another one with my best bud from college (yes Brian, that is you).

This time, my theme CD was titled, "Under the Covers" - and contained only cover songs. I had Neil Diamond covering Elvis, Sheryl Crow covering Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton covering everybody and my favorite - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Check 'em out. That's all I will say for now.
