Took a drive over to Westwood Elementary to take pictures of the school and a subdivision for Laurie. They still have an interest in moving north, depending on how American Airlines does. It's definitely still at the talking stage.

It was a dark and dismal day - the leaves are mostly gone; most trees are bare. The tamaracks have turned golden - and that was a pleasant color in the landscape on such a dull day.
We were all revved up to cheer on MSU in their game with Purdue. Dick even wore his green shirt. We flunked as effective team motivators! State didn't play so well, and Purdue was able to experience their first Big Ten victory. Holy Hannah, who would have guessed?
