I believe in thinking positively — that this hot-as-blazes summer here in Maryland USA will eventually end. So today is the first day of Meteorological Autumn. Think Autumn — cool off! Happy Autumn! (Okay, we’re still eight weeks away from having fall colours like this, but it’s the thought that counts.)

And to my friends in the Southern Hemisphere: Happy Spring! Woo-hoo!

Life is short: celebrate seasonally!
