Fall is in the air
The weather here on the steppes has been ideal for the last week or so. So far the temp hasn't gotten above 75 during the day and the nights have been wonderful. There's nothing I like more than waking up at 3 am and having to put on another blanket. This morning on the way to the gym I was tempted to turn the heat on in my car.
Of course, it'll all go to hell the first week of school when the weather returns to the traditional Nebraska August of 90+ days when you're grateful that the law school feels like a meat locker.
I'll enjoy these days while I have them for now, though, until they return in late September. Last night I made a nice autumn-like dinner of pork chops, green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy and tomorrow night I'm roasting a chicken with yams.
That's what I think of when I think of fall. Comfort foods, school, and of course, living where I live, football. The last two things are why my wife hates fall.
I'll probably talk about football a bit more over the coming weeks. Practice started this week so the angry letters to the editor writers in the papers can give up the uncharacterisically political tenor of recent months and return to excoriating 20 year old kids who drop balls and lamenting the loss of tradition in the football program.
Football posts will range from how the Huskers are doing, to how idiotic the fans are, to how I'm doing in the Ditzy Genius Fantasy Football league. Between football and politics, I don't know how I'll have time to post about law school.

As a Michigan fan, just thought I would mention how insanely much I hate the Huskers. And Tom Osborne.

Julee, don't worry. You're still a ditzy genius in my book.

Don't worry Julee, there's enough ditz to go around :-).
Forget posting about law school Steve! ;-)

Okay, is it weird that your post made me huungry? Maybe because I can't cook to save my life. I can barbecue, but that's pretty much it and I can't do that every night. I should be grateful to the girlfriend and her cooking skills.
