Yay!!! It's fall and though we don't get the turning of the leaves to extent you guys back East get them it's still my favorite season. In Portland as the days get shorter another reason to celebrate fall is because shortly the sun will go away for a few months and the rains will begin in earnest. So we try to enjoy every crisp and clear fall day that we can.

Also the BEST part about fall in my humble opinion is the advent of Halloween. How can you go wrong with free candy and opportunities to dress up? You just can't. I'm trying to convince Matt that for Halloween we should make the hour trek up to Timberline Lodge where The Shining was filmed. They are having a screening of the movie and it sounds like wholesome terrifying fun.

Oh yea and also I present to you:
THE BARACK O' LANTERN!
