Acorns and due south

Heard this morning: tiny baby acorns kerplinking and kerplunking on the roof of the porch which is right outside our second floor window. Another sign of the changing seasons.

I'm watching Due South. Paul Gross, from Slings and Arrows was the main draw, but it was created by Paul Haggis, so it had that going for it, too. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get past the LOUD, thumping, cheesy, early 90s tv soundtrack. It's enough to have to get past the LOUD shirts the American sidekick/partner gets to wear to show...I don't know, something about his character.

No worries tonight though, it's Project Runway night!

Cap's back at Jay and Amy's, Mummu is resting after having a fracking buckle put in her eye to help the retina continue reattaching. Oy.

Gem's got swollen glands now atop the low grade fever. Weekend plans to visit Mary and co. in New Hampshire are starting their slow spiral flow down the drain. I'm hoping to salvage some time with her while she's on the east coast. We'll see.

Yikes - a buckle!

Hope Gem feels better soon.

I don't know Due South.

There's a link to info on Due South in a post from 8/15 called Friday night and the morning after (or something like that).

It was a tv show that aired in the US and in England, created by a Canadian and starring a Canadian.

I hope all works out well with Mummu. Also, I hope Gem is feeling better soon.

I like your kite picture as your ID.

Your review of Due South sounds pretty ambivalent. However, Paul Gross...I am intrigued. Tell me if you think i would like.
