Max: Falling

I like the Fall too. I am a Fall and Spring kind of guy. I don't like it as cold and rainy as Jericho seems too. Sun and temperatures in the mid-70's do fine by me.

Fall brings on a certain reflective melancholy in me. It is perhaps because it is a time of transition that I feel the need to think about my life and where I am going - and not going. Because the temperatures are more comfortable, I do tend to get outside more. Walking, driving, or just sitting outside gives my body something mindless to do, freeing my mind to wander.

For many, Summer means road trips. I prefer to take road trips in the seasons of transition. I was fortunate last year. I was able to take a road trip out to the east coast. It looks like I won't be so lucky this year. I love to get out and drive the country, to see the transitions of the season alongside the transitions of the landscape. But lack of time and cash make it an unlikely prospect this year. I'll just have to settle for living vicariously through my favorite travel writers while hoping that my inner transitions lead me to someplace better next year.
