Beth: It's 58 degrees right now, and I'm cold.
It's pretty much the last day of August. What? How did that happen? This weekend is the long Labor Day holiday, with the bridge walk and all that jazz. What did I do this summer? At this precise moment, I'm not entirely sure. But lately I've been cold in the mornings, after sleeping with the windows open, and it's awfully dark when I leave the house at 6:20 a.m. That's not summer behavior.
As usual, at this time of year I'm lamenting things that I never got to do during the summer...usually due to my own dumb fault. But for some reason, September has crept up on me unusually fast this year, and I've been left feeling a little lost. At least I know that my reporting beat will soon be returning to "normal"...as normal as things can ever be at a newspaper.
Oh, but I'll turn 26 on the day that every single student in our coverage area heads back to school for the fall. And there's a board meeting that night, meaning I'll likely be stuck out there for the. entire. day.
*sigh* Happy birthday to me.

Alas autumn is here. Walking on campus today I felt cold even in the bright summer sunlight. Time to unpack my winter clothes.

So, which day next week are you coming out to the Pub so I can buy you a birthday beer?
