Oh well, I'm sure however much we're paying you, it isn't enough :)<br /><br />Ah, false starts. I like how you worded that. Very true. And also, a football term. Did you learn that at the Harvard/Brown game?<br /><br />Capn John - Excellent lyric recognition. I like most of his music, especially the earlier stuff, but "What She's Doing Now" is definitely in my top five.<br /><br />J. Adamthwaite - Thank you. Windswept is a lovely word. I've never heard that song before, but I clicked on the link. Lots of imagery in those words.<br /><br />Small Town Girl - Really? I've never been to the beach in October. I've always wanted to go for one of the shrimp or crawfish festivals or something. <br /><br />I think the latest I've been was around Labor Day Weekend. Well, unless you count February. <br /><br />Not as fun.<br /><br />Kontan - Ah, we cut through there going to the football games on Saturdays.

There's lots to like about October. For me, it's football :) And the weather. It's not too hot, not yet cold. Here, anyway.<br /><br />Michelle Johnson - It's neat how it makes us both think of similar things. Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />Cooper - I'll take undiscovered biological phenomena for a thousand. <br /><br />Well, it seems like what I'd consider true autumn weather, we only get here for a few weeks. We're still having some 80 degree days here and there for now. And here lately, it seems winter comes for like a three-day weekend and then is gone.

So far, so good anyway.<br /><br />Cami - Well. thank you :) That's sweet and means a lot. <br /><br />Renee - Yeah, our autumn doesn't seem to last as long as it used to. And our winter barely exists. But we had five or six days of just about perfect fall weather last week.
