Listening to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (only do it in the fall. I have weird music-listening rituals).

Apple picking, pumpkin pie, popping the new fireplace's cherry, tights, red wine.

I've been enjoying this fall all summer.

Light sweaters, leaves changing color, the smell of a crisp autumn morning, no more sunburns, stew and/or chili, Pumpkin Spice Lattes (which are already in season, but I won't drink them till their cold), Halloween decorations, using the firepit when the nights get cooler.

(That should read "till it is cold outside." Me English major write good.)

My nephew being born.

movies that don't incorporate something blowing up and actually have dialogue
Red wine

I just bought a ticket, under face value, to meet Patrick Swayze next month for a Fall lunch together.

I'm so excited!!

- A cigar and a warm whiskey in the backyard after dark when all you hear are rustling leaves.
- "Autumnizing" my mp3 player with lots of jazz.
- Coming home to smell the wife's cooking in the kitchen.
