Fall is Here

It seemed like the summer just kept on going and going, and then, all of a sudden, typical autumnal weather descended, many leaves turned all shades yellow and red, and it got pretty wet and cold. Strange. We seem to have missed the crispness the accompanies the beginning of both spring and fall this year.

In any case, the fall is here, another month or so and it will start feeling like holidays. I must admit I have already started on my Christmas shopping. Adding on to the holiday spirit will be the fact that Discovery Times Square is going to re-open the Harry Potter Exhibition in November (revised and updated to include all eight movies). Really looking forward to that.

The fossil trip I mentioned in the prior entry fell through - I came to the conclusion that I was not up to that kind of adventure. I love collecting fossils, and fully realize that most of the time good collecting spots are not near civilization. But I also prefer to know the details of where and how. The directions for the trip were so incomplete in my view that I decided not to risk it driving alone for over four hours in rainy weather to a poorly defined spot in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Pity. Next time, perhaps.
