I love Autumn. It is the absolute best time of the year. Halloween is fun, and Thanksgiving is the best holiday ever. I love how all the family gets together and we make amazing food and have a wonderful time just enjoying each others company without all the insanity (and frankly all the crap we put each other through) that comes with Christmas. I love Thanksgiving so much I have it twice a year. Once in November and once in, oh about May. The weather seems to be surrendering finally. It was a really hot summer here. I acclimated to it alright, but my lawn thought I was watering it with a flame thrower.
A good friend of mine and I started playing racquetball again. I’m not as agile as I used to be, but it’s a great workout and a fun game. I highly recommend it.
Also, for those of you who like to tell people you meet at parties that you are a writer, your submissions for Clarion at UCSD will be accepted from January 2 to March 1, 2008. Now, if you’re at all like me, you pretend to do things over the holidays, but you really don’t do anything but eat and drink and hang out with all your friends and family. So you should be working on your short stories NOW. I mean, come on people. Neil Gaiman is going to be there. We’ve got to start taking this seriously.
OK, I know that was aimed at myself and I feel chastised now. I’ll get to work finishing that short story.
