I love the beginning of Fall for one week and then something conspires against that happiness. This year, it is my son's cold and my wife's work schedule. I get excited for Halloween costumes I'll never make, being able to wear my Mavs hoodie, welcoming the warm air sitting in my car and the down-shift in the atmosphere.
