Today was one of those glorious fall days that make up for having to suffer through seasons like summer. Yup, I’m an autumn all the way. Today didn’t quite rise to the level of needing a sweater, but it was wonderful none-the-less. I started the morning at the street market in my neighborhood which featured a lot of fresh produce as well as a massive array of jewelry. Next up was a walk to Central Park where I sat on a bench, sipped a coffee from Tim Horton’s and jotted down notes for Ashes of a Black Frost. I then headed back home, but was happily waylaid by the Steuben’s Day parade proceeding up 5th Avenue. This is a German heritage celebration and is similar to St. Patrick’s Day…sort of. After watching that for a while I headed back home and wandered the market again. Did I mention the weather was cool with a crispness in the air and a clear, sunny sky? It was, as some might say, wunderbar!

Oh, and for all those who entered the Suvudu.com contest the winners will be announced on Monday.

Cheers,

Chris
