The seasons are changing... trees start to turn golden to match the dried grassy hills. Dark dark mornings as we try to stay in bed just a few more minutes. Kids trying out their halloween costumes ahead of time, prepping themselves for the candy marathon, the best-day-of-the-year-to-be-a-kid. Red-ringed blackbirds are grouping, prepping themselves for their migration as they dip and swoop over the fields. Large Vs of geese stretch their wings and hone their formation procedures as they flap noisily over the house.

The world series is tied. I remember watching the series every year with mom - it didn't matter what teams were playing. We always rooted for the underdog. This year, all the teams in the playoffs were underdogs, and so when it turned out that my own hometown underdog was going to play, I got interested! Go GIANTS!
