I love October, especially the first two weeks. This is the only time of year I get homesick and miss New England (grew up in Connecticut) .. where the leaves change color .. the days are perfect, nights crisp. I like the smell of falling leaves in the air. One time, when I was a punk-kid, my friends dared me to jump off a rock head-first into a big pile of leaves .. not too smart .. damn near broke my neck. Saw stars for a few minutes. In the Navy, my superiors would always complain that my hat wasn't on straight. I think it's cuz my head is crooked now. So, if I seem "not right", that's probably why. =) Looking back, it's a miracle I made it out alive. In Southern California, we don't get the change of seasons. Here, it seems like just another gorgeous day, except not quite as warm and the water gets cold. Need to break out the wetsuit. |
