What a great fall day--sunny and bright and temps in mid 60's all day with no wind---you gotta love it.
Actually fall has always been my favorite time of year, mostly because things are starting to slow down a little and it isn't quite so crazy about what you are going to be doing tomorrow---and you are probably not going to leave town on an unknown assignment.
We watched Second Hand Lions last night. It is a great movie---now I just wonder which of the eccentric old bastards my daughter thinks reminds her of me. Bottom line is it doesn't matter since there isn't much we can do to change what we think and who we are unless we make a very concerted effort to do so. Anyway I loved the movie...
Some say the world will end with fire.
Others say with ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those that favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction ice,
Is also great and would suffice.

Fall makes me sad because I know winter is coming. I like spring cause then I have a long time before it snows again. :)
I concur with Tennis Girl...I get sad in the fall because I hate winter...probably because I live in an ice box all winter long.
The eccentric bastard that reminded me of you? The one that said, "Leave me alone, dammit! I'm old."
I didn't even want to watch that show. I made Scott watch the Notebook with me and he hated it, thought it was terrible...and he said, "That is not a love story. We'll watch a love story." (Apparently he thought it was cute that one old guy only loved one woman...I don't know if it was a love story per se, but it actually was cute)
