November has begun with gusty wind, blowing away the haze and bringing the stars closer, so they are like bits of glass sparkling on the floor of a dark but limpid pond. The arrival of wind always makes me feel better, especially this time of year, when there are plenty of dry leaves for it to send dancing along the pavement, making a festive sound that is yet a bit disconcerting, though in a comical way. It is a sound like ghosts chuckling. Accompanied by the creaks and groans of the trees, it creates an atmosphere that makes me feel as though I have stepped into one of those old cartoons in which mock-scary skeletons and goblins perform goofy dances to the music of Cab Calloway. Could there be a better way to start a new month? I think not- especially since it is The Day of the Dead! But now I must get to sleep before the sun comes popping up over the horizon a whole hour early!

An unexpected mildness of the air led me to do a bit of yard maintenance this afternoon. I was awakened early the roar of a car with defective muffler, and would have been quite annoyed had the day not turned out to be so pleasant. Several small birds joined me in my task of clearing the lawn, though their contribution was slight, being confined to the removal of a few small seeds and, perhaps, a worm or two. I was rewarded with a lovely mauve and orange sunset, brought on by some late-arriving cirrus clouds. I could do this again.
My entries here have lately been somewhat sparse of content. The fault lies with Cinema Treasures, where I have been making a number of comments, adding to the trove of knowledge being accumulated at the site. I intend to add a few theaters not yet included in their collection, which task will undoubtedly take some time, considering the fact that I want to do it right. I'm quite pleased to have found the site, as I have long been fascinated by old movie theaters. Yes, yes, nostalgia is a terrible distraction, I know, but I will not forego this indulgence. It's as irresistible as popcorn at a double feature!
