For those of you who like to listen to books in audio format, the latest Garrison Gage book is now available for download at Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. Like the last Gage book, A Kiss of Sand and Sorrow is once again narrated by the excellent Jarrod Taylor. A fantastic job.
Fall is definitely in the air here. It’s one of my favorite times of year in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, with crisp morning air, sunny but mild days, and all the trees awash with their autumn colors. The dry hot days of August recede into memory while the wet winter season is still a month or two out. There’s a big change this year, though. Outside my office window, I can see all the kids on their way to school each morning, but this is the first time in twenty years that my own children won’t be among them — at least here in town. With both kids now in college, the house is a lot emptier these days. So is my bank account, alas, but that’s another story.
Summer seemed to go by quickly this year. Between the Iceland trip in June, and dropping our son off at his dorm a few weeks ago, there were a couple weekend jaunts to the coast, of course, as well as attending a friend’s wedding in Oregon City, but it’s a bit of a blur already, and it’s hard to believe we’re already putting up Halloween decorations.
My wife and I actually met at a Halloween party thirty years ago this month, so it’s a special one for us. With the kids out of the house, it’s almost like we’ve come full circle.
