Fall is here!

Just in the last two weeks or so the temperature has dropped along with a healthy dose of leaves, confirming that it is indeed officially fall.  I've pulled out my down comforter and have been eying the thermostat, stubbornly refusing to start turning on the heat quite yet.  Sweaters are now useful outside of my office, as well as in it, and the rains have returned.

As a warm-up for Thanksgiving, here are a couple of things I'm thankful for not having:

• Classes starting
• Lawn maintenance
• A job outside
