You know summer is gone when you wake up at 1:30 a.m. (a mere half hour after finally dozing off) to put on a few more blankets and turn on the heater because it's too darn cold to sleep.

As for niece pictures, I got in too late last night to get them posted, but I'll do it tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much time I have before going to see Lyle Lovett.
