::How High is Up?::

Onesome: How-- many Apples in your orchard? Didn't we just ask this one? Are you a Mac-o-phile, a Windows user, or one of those penguin people (Linux users)?

No apples. We have a Dell laptop and an HP desktop. One uses Windows XP, and one uses Windows ME. I'd like a Mac, but worry about compatibility especially for schoolwork.

Twosome: High is-- what in height for your family? Are you a tall group? ...a short stack? ...or a mixed lot?

I'm almost 5'8" (if I stand up VERY straight); Beast is 6'0". My dad was 6'1", but my mom is just 5'4". The girls in my generation (except one) got the height. My brother takes after my mom's size of the family. Sparky seems to have gotten the tall gene: he's as tall as I am and still growing by the minute.

Threesome: Up-- ...and down and all around: Labor Day marked the end of Summer for those of us in the US (regardless of how the plants felt what with the temperatures out West and hurricanes in the East). How about you: what signals the change of seasons this time of year for you?

The first frost and the changeing leaves. When I'm walking or driving through sheets of leaves, it's definitely fall.
