Well, with the coming occurring of Halloween and Daylight Savings Time a week away tomorrow, I think I can safely say that autumn is upon us (and my time for activities has slowly decreased). The temperatures have dipped a bit, with lows in Pittsburgh hitting barely above freezing. In my escapades recently, I’ve been able to slip in a few Pittsburgh activities along with my normal homework-week. The first is of a yearly celebration started by a local Pittsburgher to celebrate the yearly anniversary of the Pittsburgh Pirates winning the World Series in 1960 (which I blogged about last time). A few members of the original World Series team were there as well, which was really cool! Three weekends ago was Mid-Semester Break, which basically means a Friday off to do whatever you want to. So, some floormates and I got together and played frisbee golf in nearby Schenley Park, and had a blast doing it. I also have a picture of SausageFest, which is an event put on by my dorm sell hot dogs and sausages to raise money for charities. Dare I say it, there’s only 6 weeks left in the semester, and while I like the new sights and people, there’s nothing like home sweet home!

Nolan,
That picture of the snow on the grass in front of your lecture hall looks like a postcard – except for what looks like someone else taking a picture right smack-dab in the center!
Can’t wait to see you,
Dad
