i showed steve four variations on red october leaves tonight, having already concluded that the “hunt for red october” had failed this afternoon, and now it was too late and too dark to re-shoot, on a day when my inventory of possible still blog stand-ins was at or near zero. honey, said steve, on a daily blog, you get to just be good sometimes, and on the days you are good, that means you don’t need to be spectacular. so there you have it. good, but not spectacular. the leaves are turning red, it’s football season, it’s fourth-and-inches, and i’m punting.
