Later the pleasure of leftover pumpkin pie.
Sitting in the window sill.
Looking out at the bare limbs of the trees.
The Connecticut River. Broad and slowly flowing.

The Dartmouth crew practicing. Up and down the river in their green sweaters with the white "D" embroidered on the front. Long wooden boats. Oars moving in synchronization.

Everything much wilder here. The American river moving so fast downhill over stones and rocks.
