shifting into autumn


Really changing into autumn now. The leaves are gold and orange. We're wearing socks and sweaters.

I like to walk on the local college campus. Yesterday there was a football game. People drove from all over New England. There were tailgate parties, parents in expensive clothes, and excited students. It smelled like barbecue sauce. I overheard a guy saying to his friend, "If   -'s parents weren't here today I'd be getting obliterated."

There's a good reason to visit your child at college. You may be saving a few brain cells, many liver cells.
