It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...where does that saying come from??? Whose this old man?? And why is he sung about? Maybe he had a long day at work? Or maybe the kids wore him out? Or maybe he was up late last night watching reruns on Nick At Night?
Let the poor man be.
OK, my only point is it is raining. Please excuse the senseless, non-sequitor rant. Fall is here! Isn't that wild? Just two days ago it was hot and the dirt was cracking it was so dry, and today it's mild and soggy, soggy, soggy.
... Soggy!
I like this weather - it has some character to it. The cloudless, piercing blue skies are very welcome at first, but eventually they grow just a bit old. I'm looking forward to some brisk air, cloudy nights, and pumpkins. Usual Fall stuff.
And pigskin! High school football on one of those nights is great. I'm just not looking forward to the following season, which always arrives as surprisingly as winter. All you football fans can watch the games from the stands with your gloves and mittens on, but it's tough to write game notes with that stuff on. Oh, and then there's when your ink freezes, that's AWESOME!
Geez! It's still raining!!! ALL DAY LONG.
Regardless, you'll still likely see a smile on my face as I roam the sidelines at our football games, it's a lot of fun down there.
