Those of you who follow me - all 1 of you at the moment - know this space is generally reserved for my thoughts on sports. Well, I'm going to stray from that here and go with the Life portion of my blog title for now.
I woke up this morning to a great thought - fall is essentially here. I love fall! The leaves are changing, the weather is a perfect 60 degrees, football has started and the World Series is right around the corner (OK, so I can't write without throwing sports in somewhere).
Let's start with the weather. I am not a warm-weather person, simple as that. I hate sweating in the summer heat. That is no concern in the fall. Fall weather is great (at least early, before it gets really cold in mid-November).
The sights and smells of fall make it a great time of year. Leaves changing colors, the smell of the crisp, cool air and the aroma of pumpkin pie. It all blends to make the season quite enjoyable.
Of course, there are the sports. The World Series, also known as the Fall Classic. To me, this is the best of all the sports championships. The thoughts of a packed stadium of fans going nuts on an October night beat out any other championship thoughts in my books.
Football is in full swing, as well. The greatest sport. It goes away for 7 months - longer than any other sports offseason. Most nights of the week (thanks to college football scheduling) are filled with football in the fall.
Just around the corner, too, is basketball season. For a Cleveland sports fan, like me, this means finally watching a team that has a chance to win a title - go Cavs!
Finally, at the tail end of Fall, we get the greatest holiday of them all - Thanksgiving! I can think of no better way to spend a day than with family, watching football and eating great food!
Overall, Fall rocks! This morning felt like fall. While most get a spring in the step, quite literally, in Spring, I had an extra jolt this morning. Or was that a result of all the coffee?
