sliding into winter

spent the morning thinking about and re--arranging midtown ---  i've sorta worked out six of eight chapters i planned, and now wonder if i'm not going about it all wrong ---

finishing that door-stop of a history of ulster was a large and quite informative accomplishment -- i kinda skimmed the last couple of hundred pages out of the 800+ in the book --- 

in the low 40s and nice wind out of the nw this afternnon --- perfect weather to retire to the river --- 

that's a fungus as big as a gallon of milk!
