No Doldrums Here!

I love this time of year. A lot of people think I'm crazy, but I do. The air smells better. There is a little bite that comes with the chill of fall. Ever since I was a kid, this time of year has always been my favorite. There is just something about being outside in the cool air, and then going into a warm house, drinking a nice, hot cup of coffee and having that warmth just surge through your entire body.

I know this may not be my usual topic type, but I'm currently having the same conversation and it made me want to write it. I guess as I've grown, more things have surfaced that make me look forward to november, december, etc..., with the elections just past, so too did one of my favorite times. I love a good debate, and over course nothing brings out a good lively debate than election time. Football season is in mid-swing, hockey just starting up, and anyone who knows me knows how i feel about sports.

The leaves changing, then falling. The sun going down earlier(4:47pm today). The holidays always bring a good feeling as well. Good food and friends/family. The first snowfall of the year... and the subsequent 80 inches that follow...ok it was just last year, but I loved it nonetheless.

There really is nothing about this time of year that doesn't make me just a little bit more happy. I guess someone has to enjoy it...might as well be me. You can keep your warm beaches and sunny weather. Give me an overcast, breezy november day with a hot cup of coffee, a football game on tv, and good people around me. Now that, I could live on forever!
