I hope all my US based readers are having a safe and enjoyable long Labor Day holiday weekend!\u00a0 The exact moment when this post is published is also the moment my fantasy football draft starts, so I’ll be capping off my weekend with a little smack talk and a lot of lofty predictions that will almost surely fail to come to fruition.<\/p>\n
This weekend traditionally marks the official end of summer.\u00a0 Many folks are saddened by that, while I actually love it.\u00a0 Fall is by far my favorite season.\u00a0 I love football.\u00a0 I love the changing leaves.\u00a0 I love the cooler weather.\u00a0 I love getting out my cooler weather clothes and rediscovering favorites I forgot about. I love seeing the harvest coming in.\u00a0 I love pumpkin seeds.\u00a0 I love big family meals.\u00a0 \u00a0I love fall sunsets.\u00a0 I love the word autumn, even if is can be a little pretentious sometimes.\u00a0\u00a0I love fall!<\/p>\n
Of course, no season is perfect.\u00a0 Fall is marred by campaign ads and pumpkin spice EVERYTHING.\u00a0 Seriously- there are pumpkin spice Cheerios now.\u00a0 There are pumpkin spice Oreos now.\u00a0 I can only assume pumpkin spice flavored pumpkins will be the next big thing.\u00a0 \u00a0 And while there is no good way to avoid completely campaign ads, I find that Netflix and the DVR do wonders to limit my exposure and help maintain what little sanity I have left.<\/p>\n
So, don’t be one of those folks who is sad that summer is over.\u00a0 Instead, think of all the great things fall offers and enjoy those to the fullest.\u00a0 Or should I say the fallest?<\/p>\n
