Soup season is in full swing. With Beth's bad back (although her knee is better this year) she's been dreading getting back into it but she's been doing pretty well with it. I've also been helping a lot more than usual, mostly with getting the jars washed, refilling containers of ingredients, taking recyclable stuff away... just the general stuff that needs to be done but slows the process down a lot. With me doing the running we're finding that the soup-making part goes really fast. We've cranked out a dozen soups of various flavors in no time flat. The first show is November 2, and she's thought for weeks that it was next weekend so she's feeling good about that too. 

Not much else to report here for the week, except that there's a super rare comet in the sky and Beth and I have been trying to see it and failing. It's apparently low on the horizon after sunset and only visible for a while before it sets itself. We drove all the way out to the country to try to see it on Friday night, with no luck. Either it's just too faint or it's not really there....
