AUTUMN EQUINOX 2024
Sep 22, 2024 8:43 AM (EST)

Well whaddya know, it’s summer again….

One of the most frequent questions I get asked in my life is “why do you hate summer?” (Laughing) In my world, that’s like asking me why I hate ticks, traffic, houseflies, allergies, sinus congestion, insomnia, fireworks, humidity, yard work (you see where this is going). Summer brings all of it in spades, relentlessly, and refuses to let up as it unabashedly overstays its welcome like an annoying relative until this little amazing event called the autumnal equinox.

Yes, it’s that time again. The annual countdown to the demise of this dreary, dismal stretch of miserable heat and humidity the Ohio Valley seems to love so much. Once again, I’ll be cozily tucked away in my personal igloo, sheltered from the sun’s cancerous rays and all the nuclear fallout they bring with them. ‘Got everything I need right here: A/C, food, home gym, A/C, cold water, A/C, A/C…

Lookin’ forward to Fall as always. Can’t wait to get back out on the trail in cool weather, feeling leaves crunch beneath my feet and seeing pretty Halloween décor everywhere. They say the best things in life come after a degree of suffering is had…. Or maybe they don’t. Maybe I just said it because it sounds nice. Either way, only 11 more weeks of the summer hell at publish time. We’ll get there.
