Today's cuppa: Newhall Coffee, Patriot Blend
There are many ways to know fall has arrived -- that nip in the air (everywhere but here in SoCal, where summer has a good couple of months yet), the wailing of kids forced to return to school, the cheering of their parents, the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, and the Emmy Awards.
Yeah, I didn't really mean that last one either, but if you're curious, here's Zap2it's photo gallery of the big winners. I hear the show was not great, but since I whacked it off the DVR, I'll take folks at their word.
It's not like I don't care at all -- big cheers to Glenn Close for winning best actress, drama series for FX's excellent "Damages"; for the always entertaining "The Amazing Race," which snapped up yet another award for reality-competition show and one for host Jeff Probst, in a new category of host for a reality or reality-competition program; and for all the honors heaped on HBO's deserving "John Adams."
So it's the first day of autumn, and thoughts can now turn to work and school, leaving behind hazy memories of summer. I actually took the picture below on a rainy May day last year at Shepard Park in Lake George, N.Y., but somehow it always says "end of summer" to me.
