Autumn
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007
Today is the Autumn equinox. Fall and all that comes with it - football, pleasant weather, beautiful colors, less crowded golf courses - has officially arrived.
However, things are amiss.
The foreseeable forecast calls for 90 degree temperatures, severe drought could mute autumn’s color and melting ice has opened the Northwest Passage.
Finally, the Chicago Cubs may be playing baseball in October. Despite the fact that Hell - much less Earth - is not freezing, the Cubbies have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs. Tina and I will attend the Friday night game against the Reds here in Cincinnati to lend our support.
