Happy Fall

Or, what did the 2/3 say to the 1/3 when they chose the wrong....

Fall is perfect. Perfectly colorful as in leaves. Perfect temperatures for outdoor activities like football watching and playing, running, walking the dog, etc. Cool mornings make you want to eat soup, but warm afternoons make you glad you still have your shorts and T-shirts in your dresser. It also means the best apples all year long--macintosh if you can find them, mutsu, the delicious (red and gold), empire, gala.

Fall means school and papers and tests and grades and new backpacks and sharp pencils and peanut butter sandwiches. It's new friends, leaf piles, riding your bikes after school instead of doing your homework. Til you get busted.

Fall used to mean great new TV shows like Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, One Day at a Time, Mork & Mindy, LA Law, Hill Street Blues, Cheers, ER, Friends, etc. And Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football. I am so out of the current TV scene, I don't know what I'm missing.

Fall in NY means a certain fresh scent is in the air. Some tree or bush that smells like air and school and nature and a new beginning, all wrapped up into a few deep breaths. Ahhh...

Hope your Fall is going great!

Love the post. Had a mutsu yesterday and found a little bit of heaven! They aren't too common around here. Love your sense of humor.
You aren't missing any tv shows either. Can't say there is much to see. Love you!
