Waiting for Fall


I can see fall on the horizon, my favorite season, even amidst this blistering weather. I've been trying to find good podcasts lately; ploughed through This American Life and Freakonomics, listened to Alec Baldwin's Here's the Thing. I'm realling digging A Way With Words with author, Martha Barnette and lexicographer, Grant Barrett. They talk about language, grammar, colloquialisms, etymology etc. Nerd meet fellow nerds. Which brings me back to fall again. Love the change in the weather, comfy sweaters, pretty new boots and coats, the start of a new school year, Oktoberfest and my birthday. Can't wait.
