The day after the Catholic feast of All Saints (November 1) is All Souls Day (November 2). That's today, and it also happens to be when I was born! This particular All Souls Day is cloudier and more Fall-like than All Saints Day was. Yesterday was just gorgeous. Today, it's dropped down into the 50s and feels more seasonable. Still nice though. "Good football weather," as "they" say.
I don't know who "they" are. Maybe one of the souls or saints we commemorate over these two days.

About Me
- Mark Gorman
- I was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, along the banks of the Susquehanna River, in the valley made up by Bald Eagle Mountain to the south, and gentle hills and valleys to the north. That place that sheltered me, gave me food and friends, and both physical and spiritual nourishment for 18 years. That is the space where I was physically and emotionally formed. Ever since growing up there . . . because of growing up there . . . I have been inexorably linked to nature . . . to the earth and to all life.
