okey dokey - fall2.0

..."what this 'okey dokey' mean?" my chinese-born intern asks. I reply "think Neo in Matrix, just before he tries to fly from one sky scraper to another, he says 'okey dokey' - its a resigned agreement to do something.

One advantage of living in both vermont and boston is that I get two falls with different trees - both spectacular. In vermont, I don't have Oak trees around my place - a mixed blessing since they add color to the end of fall (they hold their leaves for months and have some oranges and reds that Maples don't) - but also, they have acorns - which are a cause of Lyme disease (white-footed mice + deer = lyme disease). No acorns, no white footed mouse, no lyme disease. Okey Dokey.
