And for a bit of an escape
Check out Jeff's wonderful post at Quid as he waxes poetic about a slight hint of fall in the air and a morning of possibilities.

Meanwhile, out in LA:
Even worse than the last couple of months, the morning is already hot. A back-to-school breeze is no where to be seen, and it sends you up the wall, knowing what your a/c bills are going to be. You've made this walk a thousand times, you've seen those crappy old cars and heard the "thump thump thump" of yet another idiot with a too loud stereo. But you know that soon Football season will start, and with it the rainy season, with buckets under the roof leaks, and wet shoes in the hallway.
I will gladly light a candle for you the next time I'm at the cathedral. ;)
Methinks that Jeff is (a) not a parent of a school age child and (b) not a car commuter. On this side of the river, we're dreading those early morning alarms; the mad dash to the bus stop; the commuters running stop signs, annoyed at all those buses clogging up the roads; the angry noncommuters, annoyed that all the commuters are back from vacation; the endless months of homework jail; the paperwork; the PTA and booster solicitations; et al.
No, all in all, I'd rather it stay summer just a while longer thanks.
Its pushing 90 at 11 am this morning. Give me the California winter, deluge and all.
And my homework days are over. Big girl graduated college and the baby starts next month.
Life begins when the kids move out and the dog dies.. . I'm almost there.
You can "help" the dog along.
He doesn't need help. Little Boo Boo had to be put down last year after 14 and 1/2 wonderful years. Gone but not forgotten.
Just kidding about the dog, SD. I may not like dogs much, but I don't hate 'em. Just grew up with cats.
