Jeanine and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary in October with a Gloucester lighthouse excursion. For the second year in a row, Covid has caused us to choose road trips over our plans for a European excursion. I made my annual trek to the north country for fall foliage and my soccer team completed another undefeated season. During the course of the month, we also found, purchased, and moved into a nearby second home where we will reside until our River House new construction is completed sometime next year.
