The seasons have changed rather abruptly, with the temperature hovering above 65 on a daily basis. I do love it however. Any type of climate that allows me to comfortably wear shorts and a sweatshirt is moneybags for me. So it's time to run down things I enjoy about the quick switch of the seasons.
I love the switch to Oktoberfest beer. However, something I have found this year is the sales that stores put on summer beer in September. Just this past week I was able to score a 12 pack of "Honey Moon" (Blue Moon's summer dumpster baby) as well as the seasonal "Rope Swing" from Redhook. They are both fantastic and it really doesn't have to be a summer month on the calendar for me to enjoy a light and tasty beverage. So my advice to all those, go peruse local liquor stores to see if they have any deals on summer delicacies.
I love the chill in the air as I fall asleep. We keep the window open for about half the night and just let that cool air roll in. It is the best way to sleep. For show.
I love that the baseball post-season is just around the corner. I can be a homer and follow the Twins and maybe try and luck my way into some playoff tickets. The Cubs have been DOA since about April, but that doesn't mean I can't cheer for the Twins. The MLB playoffs and World Series are my second favorite sporting event (next to March Madness) and it has nothing to do with my team being there. God knows the Cubs don't do anything there. I just love the pagentray and the fact that only 8 teams get in. Exclusivity at its best.
I love that football is back, and at the moment I have something to cheer for. At the moment those cheering points are Pro-Bears/Anti-Vikings. I realize that from 1995-2007 my hatred for the Packers was 100% Brett Favre. Without him, I find them a very likable bunch. Who knew? But at the moment I am salivating over this Monday night with Bears/Pckers from Soldier Field. Should be a good one.
And lastly I love that my wedding is just a few fleeting months away. It came around fast, and I am excited to be together with family and friends as I get to marry my best friend. (Cue sappy music)
Seasons change and I get a little bit older, and I learn to appreciate things more and more. These have been some of those things.

Baby Searchin'
Is exactly what Jax will be doing on Sons of Anarchy tonight. Before I digress into the show, I want to proclaim my excitement for the start of the Fall TV season. I am rather pumped for returning shows and one that is just kicking off. So here is the rundown.
Monday - How I Met Your Mother remains must see viewing for this guy, despite a lack-luster previous season. But Jason Segel keeps me comin' back
Tuesday - Sons of Anarchy is my new favorite program. I watched the pilot when it premiered and set it aside. Well, I am here to atone and tell everyone I was wrong. The show is full of badassery and some of the best writing on TV. I finished up season 2 on DVD in a flurry, and await 9 PM tonight to see them IRA bastards get their comeuppance.
Wednesday - Terriers is a new show on FX about some sort of tandem of lawmen. I don't know much, but I do know it comes from Shawn Ryan who was behind The Shield. And I never discount F/X. Along with AMC, they are the only basic cable station who brings it consistently.
Thursday - The inevitable night of doom with lots of awesome TV. Community is on NBC at 7 and looks to continue from an awesome 1st season. However, they have stiff competition from CBS, attempting their first Thursday night comedy block in nearly 20 years. They lead off at 7 with The Big Bang Theory, which is good, but panders a bit like Two and a Half Men. I will watch though, because it is very solid and perpetuates the notion that nerds are lame and hence very funny. Then at 9 PM F/X hits you with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The show continues to get wackier, which can be a detriment, but the original guys are back to writing the bulk of the episodes. And count me excited to see Danny Devito in a Spider-man costume for a Halloween Episode.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday don't matter to this guy, but I will throw out the one new show that I will try and catch. The Walking Dead on AMC. A 6 part, graphic novel inspired, zombie opus that debuts on Halloween night. I like zombie movies, but they tend to be 90 minutes of gore. I'm excited for 6 hours to delve into character development and of course, some gore. If you haven't seen the trailer, google that nonsense. It's awesome.
I realize I am leaving things out like South Park and the like, but these are the main shows I will focus on. Because I like zombies, biker gangs, and physicists. Look out for my review of Sons of Anarchy tomorrow, hoping to become a weekly staple.
