Seasonal Shift

TGIF! That “f” is, of course, for fall.

This weekend, just before today’s official start of what has become my favorite season (I’m a summer baby), I put on my hoodie and slouch socks and headed into the mountains for my first camping trip of the year. Funny how a recreational activity that’s always been socially distanced can make you feel normal again.

It was a reminder of all that’s right – not wrong – with the world. This week’s newsletter is dedicated to some of the other things that make autumn so special.
