Your barbecue disability is forgivable. Charred meats are carcinogenic anyway, right? I'm with Nimish- love that left turn at the end. Please go ahead and share recent music compilation. :) Yeah, the Autumn is matched only by the Spring in its ambivalent magnificence.

The pictures you posted on your blog were beautiful. Though, I usually prefer it when the snow arrives in late November, otherwise winter threatens to overtake autumn... but what can you do? <b>Megan</b> hmmm, damnit, I can't think of any clever Canadian or Scottish things to say to that. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in my eagerness for the end of summer . <b>hennifer</b> I'd be happy to trade you my summer for your autumn, if you're interested. <i>"kind of like that sentence"</i> was brilliant! <b>GYL</b> Ooohhh, sultry thunderstorm! Lovely. <b>b</b> Hell, you want to trade some nasty hotdogs for some good indoor cooking, I'm all for it, but I can't help but feel like I'm getting the better end of the deal. :) <b>b</b> No. :D <b>Chey</b> Hmmm... you make it sound as if we've had children together, is there something about us that I don't know? :D So glad you liked the post, even if you had to have a little Tracy Chapman to enhance the experience. You also kind of make it sound like I abuse animals, which—with those goddamned incontinent kittens—I suppose I came pretty close. <b>Caryn</b> Thank you Caryn. I'm glad to hear that the love of this season isn't nearly as rare as I thought it was. <b>Nimish</b> Thanks Nimish! I wondered about pushing it in there. <b>Lucky</b> Oh Lucky, Octobers have so much more to offer. Someday you need to take the whole month as holiday and come see a real fall. <b>Allison</b> Fall is wonderful, isn't it? Does Matt know you feel this way about football? :D gail Sounds lovely!

Caryn Thank you Caryn. I’m glad to hear that the love of this season isn’t nearly as rare as I thought it was.

I love it all. Oh, and I'm with Cheyenne....FUCK football. Fall = bliss…the smell of the leaves, any recipe involving pumpkin, the promise of stealing chocolate from my kid’s Halloween basket.

The colors change here (and last for 2 days before it's brown) but it always sunny. ALWAYS. The sun never goes away. Maybe that's not something to complain about but I like the way you describe your autumn. And coming from the land of BBQ... it's overrated. ;) I am so jealous of your October Autumn.

Awesome paragraph.

Now, it was beautifully descriptive and everything one would expect from such a gifted writer, but because I was listening to <i>The Promise,</i> somehow the words became so profound as to sting me in my heart, until finally all the bluster and foliage had me weeping into my hands, struggling to figure out why fall had never affected me this way before. Just when I thought I might have to go outside and emit some sort of primal scream in fall's honour, I glimpsed something about barbecue and a picture of Clint Eastwood. So I hung on, curious to see whether or not your trademark bullseye humour was on its way. Sure enough, "heretical dices of meat" made me laugh so hard I nearly swallowed my tongue, in as much as I was still wailing audibly. Anyway, fuck barbecue, and FUCK football. No man can strangle two kittens simultaneously and throw them as far as you can. Finally, never read anything while listening to <i>The Promise</i>, and please forgive me for this comment. (Please? I'll bring you some gin...) I was completely lost in my own world, ignoring my children (and yours!) when I clicked on your blog.
