Because of the tournament, I will likely be more focused on my team than I will be on the changing of seasons tomorrow. I will say that I'm grateful for this opportunity to drive through the pass while the trees are showing their fall colors. Actually, I like almost any opportunity to take that usually scenic drive, but the changing of the season will make it even more impressive.
Normally, the start of autumn is one of my least favorite times of year. The days are shorter than the nights. The weather is colder, but usually not cold enough for snow. Everything smells like mildew outside. Still, there's something about tomorrow's equinox that has me feeling quite hopeful.
