What does it really mean?
- no kids soccer after supper on Wed's and Thur's for the first time since May
- another claim to uncledom - my fifth...I think...
- getting dropped off at work every day because it is school day every day for the first time
- daydreaming about what to do with ten days off I have yet to take - Gulf of Maine for Canadian Thanksgiving is looking sweet
- another two months of Friday night old farts soccer with colder and colder knees
- is this the year people start doing things being respectful but without feeling weird on the 11th?
- hockey has started already but may not make it into October
- increased danger to root vegetables being subject to roasting beside hunks of lamb or pork
- sweaters will be worn even if shorts are as well
- too much politics from Washington and maybe the hint of something from Ottawa
- apples

Golf unimpeded by teachers and tourists ... the four and one half hour round magically becomes three hours.

That is a good one. Be a tourist in my own town, too.

Buying shorts for next summer at a fraction of what I'd have to pay for them in May ...
