Mrs Lani's real name is Roselani Nowicki. The first name is Hawaiian; the last name is Polish. The "MRS. LANI" sign in her bus is in a Chinese-style font. She defies classification.
It's been going about normal. We went to two more contests and Qualified two more times. Or has it only been one contest? I'm not prepared for this entry, really. I just found out what Mrs Lani's name was and thought I'd say so on my blog, so I wasn't planning much else.
It's getting to be fall here in Ohio. I read that we here have even more colors than those guys up in New England. However, I also read Bill Bryson's article about New England falls, where he asserts that they're the best not only because they have so many colors, but because the background is exceptional--nice towns and pretty churches--and the air is superb. Regardless either way, I have to spend my fall in Ohio, so I might as well enjoy it as I can. A while ago, I tried to go online and find a guide to when each tree changes colors, what color it changes to, and so on. There was nothing available. Well dang it, I thought, I guess I'll just have to make my own. But not this year, because fall has already started. I'm going to learn stuff about trees starting now, and then I'll be better prepared to record the changing of the seasons when next autumn rolls around. Of course, I could use some help. I'm probably not going to be able to go visit one of every species of trees every day to see if it's changed or not--in fact, I certainly won't. This is where you come in. If, as you watch that tree in your yard change next year, you were to casually note what species it is, what color you'd say it just changed, and the date, and send that information on over to me, I would be quite pleased. This sounds like a fun kind of project. I'll do it every year, of course, so I can get average dates, not just dates for one specific year... I'll have charts, I'll have... other stuff. Don't you agree that it's a noble endeavor?
-I don't have too much else to say. Uh, I've been eating a lot of Hot Pockets, because Mom keeps buying them, and they're not too bad. And I've been working on Cyril. Gettin' better. And for our latest, last game we all dressed up in Halloween costumes, so I dressed up as Neo. So, uh, that's all for today.

I'll keep on buying the 'pockets. You keep on doing whatever...whatever you...DO. :) :) :) -Mom
PS I LOVE YOU!
PS you also don't have to say both "regardless" and "either way" because it's redundant and you repeat yourself. And you say the same thing twice. Two times.
I also heard the other day on the radio (you just know it's true if you hear it on the radio) that in October cool nights plus warm sunny days make for more reds.
Also I noted last year that here the leaves change much earlier than in Japan. In Japan they hadn't even started by the end of October. At least in Gifu.
