It’s the least wonderful time of the year

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

A lot of people have told me that fall is their favourite time of the year. Here’s what the season means to me.

Coming home from work late Wednesday night, I almost felt the need to get the heat running in the car, but resisted. Later that night, I woke up feeling a little chilly and grudgingly put an extra blanket on the bed. The flannel sheets can’t be far behind.

On Thursday morning, the very cool hardwood was a bit of a shock to the system and the thermostat reading of 63 degrees made me think about firing up the furnace. But I didn’t. Not until today, anyway, when the morning temperature indoors was 61.

Yup, here comes winter.
