Mmmm, fall!
Fall is my favorite season. Only thing bad about it is that winter is coming. If you can remove that thought from your mind and just focus on the yumminess of the season, fall is the best...
...college football, full stop
...stuff starts tasting like pumpkin and eggnog
...you have an excuse to put together a political and blog-inappropriate Halloween costume
...that smell in the air
...the single best food day of the year: Thanksgiving
....the fact that you aren't required to participate in any holiday rituals on Thanksgiving other than eating and sleeping
...your neighborhood gets quiet because the little hoodlums are back in school
...people start leaving on vacation so you can actually get some work done
...you feel justified in making comfort food for dinner and you bring out the red wine
...awesome Halloween decorations that you want to keep up year-round. Loving the orange door
...college football

Ah, college football... every year, it makes me wonder how we survive the rest of the year without it. Of course, my team is idle this week...Anonymous

Parul - yeah, the fireplace! RB - I don't know. Do you think that's a real house that people actually live in? I doubt it. I would leave my door that color all year 'round. I love orange. mdapsauski - it's not cliche if it's true. And yeah, there are LA things that make up for the lack of frost (In-N-Out burger, PCH, 6 hours to Vegas, etc.) :)Anonymous

Amen on the college football. Every year I've lived in the Seattle area, I've loved the summer weather, but every year by early July, I'm wishing the summer away because I have the shakes from no college football. And by the way - if I wasn't already happily married, I'd ask you to marry me. ;) It took my wife about 10 years to get used to the fact that Saturday in the fall = college football (and there's really no way around it - oh by the way, sometimes Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings in the fall also = college football). You, on the other hand, obviously get it from day one ...Anonymous

Jamie - good question. It's universal! Bad_Brad, the football thing is certainly seen as a plus in the dating world. Of course, I keep dating men with cats that don't care about football. I have to stop doing that. It's rough out there!Anonymous
