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.
