Of Orange Leaves and Rollerskis, Birthday's and Cut-Up Knees

Happy Birthday to Caleb and Robbie! Both freshman are a big 1-9, and as a result have quite a worldly and distinguished disposition about them, as well as the usual amount of sass, which today drips out of them like wax from a candle on a birthday cake which has too many candles because the candles had to spell out the letters R and C and therefore took much too long to light and kept getting blown out so that most of the candles had to be relit again and again, causing them to drip wax like crazy. . . .
This week the colors have exploded in the Berkshires and the oranges and reds come from the trees, not just our reflector vests and bloody knee-caps . . . . It made for a spectacular show during the third and last interval session last week - bounding intervals on Petersburg Road - and today's O.D. skate rollerski down River Road.
