The football thing is like a weird, not-so-secret cult that everybody, but EVERYBODY is part of. :) On the plus side, as long as you stay out of the way of traffic, it's possible to feel like you're the only one in town when it's game day and you're anywhere BUT at the stadium. :)

This week is supposed to be a lot cooler, so I'm betting some of the trees teetering on the brink of turning start to go. With all the sweetgum trees around here, it's got to be pretty when it happens!
