Like clockwork, the 25th Annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday [see link below] has prompted Mother Nature to send in the first wave of cool air, just in time for Halloween. It is spooky how these two events occur almost simultaneously - I mean, practically the same day - ever year. Fall has been creeping in for the past couple of weeks. . .the humidity dropped below 90 for a few days and the air was cooler in the mornings, but signs of fall in Florida are subtle and you have to pay attention. We are home for the weekend, having gone to Naples for a high school reunion last weekend. In Naples, to belong to the "old-timers club," you have to have lived there when Hurricane Donna came ashore in the fall of 1960. Because the ranks of that generation are beginning to thin out, they also allow spouses, children and grandchildren of "old-timers" to join the club. I may have more to say about that later, but I have run out of excuses for not mowing the lawn and repairing fence damage from two hurricanes ago. So, away from this keyboard. Time to get outside and crank it up.
