falling in love again

Brr, it's chilly out! There's a snap in the air, and things like that: the first outlying tendrils of fall are snaking their way into our lives. And I have to say, even Leah likes it. We're going to have to get some pumpkins to put on display.

Because the thing is, we haven't had fall for a while. Well actually, that's not entirely true: I had fall about a year ago, like everyone else, but it doesn't feel that way, for reasons which will be clear in a moment. But Leah, now, she went away to California in early June 2003, so she missed an entire cycle of seasons! In other words, this summer has lasted approximately 1.25 years for her. We didn't manage any surfing, but let me tell you, that still feels pretty endless. And me, I left in December, so my eight or nine month summer (math? pah!) seems pretty long too.

So we're exited. I don't want to hear that it's going to be 80 again by the middle of the week, but that's what you get.

And yeah, I need to change the title and/or look-and-feel of this blog.
