September 22...Official Start of Fall

Mornings are already Fall like, leaves beginning to swirl down the street with every gentle breeze, birds flocking in larger groups as they prepare for the long trek South.  The season does not officially begin for another six days yet all the signs of its arrival are already here.  In some ways, feel as if my life is in its Fall, options narrowing down as the seasons of my life eliminate choices as winter winds slowly creep into my bones.   Was thinking as I walked the other day, looking at the years I have lived, looking at the average life span of most American men, came to the realization my life according to statistics is 3/4 through its story...time to start planning, making plans that lead me down a path which writes an ending that pleases me, myself and I.

Peak color...think I missed it, or perhaps it has passed into the distant yesterdays of my life, the road ahead more about falling leaves, and impending winter storms.  Time to take a serious look at a set of snow tires for the trip ahead, or perhaps contemplate a serious change of scenery to a place of warmer weather where four seasons all look pretty much the same.

I have to be at the dentist in an hour, so going to go run around naked in the shower pretending it is raining.  Enjoy this brisk yet beautiful fall like day.
