Fall is officially here (well, as of a few days ago) and the air in Athens is cooling down. The dog-days of summer seem to be a recent memory now, but I am - as always - embracing this change of pace in weather. This is my favorite time of year for many reasons ...
• Fall is a great time for fly fishing in North Georgia - one of my favorite activities. The DNR revs up the delayed harvest program and there are plenty of fish to be caught all through Georgia's mountain streams.
• In general, outdoor activities are simply more pleasurable. Walking through downtown, North Campus, or at one of the many parks in the area gains a new sense of appeal. Picnicking or outdoor dining suddenly become desirable.
• College football! :-)
• Everyone throws their big annual events and festivals. Good food and good memories are plentiful as a result of this. (Look for a future blog post with some hints at good, local events.)
• The holidays are closer than ever ... Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all offer a change of pace for students and an opportunity to spend time with our families we never see. More good food, too.
Enjoy the weather while it lasts, for it will soon be cold and blustery in Georgia.
Still at the SLC ... writing a paper I've struggled over for weeks now. I'm still not getting anywhere and this thing is due Friday. Why can't more experts write on identity and place in Nuyorican poetry?!
Buenos noches, mi amigos! Voy a ir a la casa esta los fines de semana!
