A sprinkle of seasoning

More rain. Cooler weather. Enter my favorite season of the year.

I love Autumn. The air is crisp and clean, not sticky and humid. You get to wear more clothes, so flab can be cleverly concealed.

Thanksgiving is the best holiday ever. It's a guaranteed 4-day weekend and the Christmas gift buying pressure isn't really on yet. Did I mention I love turkey? And pumpkin pie and dressing and mashed potatoes? (See above "cleverly concealed flab" reference.)

Uh-oh. Unfettered optimism is sneaking up on me; I better go turn on one of the news channels!
