How did that happen? Summer's imperial war machine melting away into this nearly forgiving fall, days warm and kind yet slipping into cooling nights, and then that shift, when suddenly it's strange again, with each day trying to tell its own story, some mostly grim and filtered grey with others still showing off some sun, and each one with all this promise and capacity for change, bolting cold in the morning but maybe even hot by afternoon, you never know until you're dragging your heavy coat around. And now all the holidays will start issuing their various orders, and all the roads are marked until well into the new year.
Just what I was thinking this morning. I didn't even know we were in october already, and have no recall of what I did with september. What are we doing?
