Fall Is Just Around the Corner

I went to a Braves game tonight with my CDC division co-workers. I sort of felt as out-of-place at the ballgame as I do at the office. But it was still fun. The Braves played the Chicago Cubs, and they lost, 8-3.

But that's not really what I want to talk about. What I really want to talk about is the atmosphere up there in the 404th section, 13th row. There was a cool breeze that made me glad I hadn't worn shorts, that resulted in my friend's 9-year-old daughter putting on her light jacket, and caused the tiny hairs on my arm to slightly move. What?!? Could fall be approaching? Next thing I know, leaves will be changing color and falling to the ground!

And I absolutely cannot wait. The older I get, the more excited I get for fall. My natural outfit of choice is jeans and a sweater, hiking shoes and wool socks. I was made for cool weather.

And if the fall and winter seasons here in Georgia are anything like they were last year, I'll be extremely angry at "Mother Nature." I better be able to wear my heavy winter coat at least 30 times! It better snow, darn it! (Okay, now I'm probably pushing it.)

Thing I'm thankful for: hot dogs and cotton candy.
