Back To School

My favorite time of the year has always been the fall, especially September. Not for the change of leaves (not yet in Laredo), but because it is the season for change in daily life. A new "grade" or "school year" for students, a change in routine for parents, and a fresh start for many. I know it's mostly psychological, whatever that means for you, but this time of year has always represented to me a new start at something. It's another chance at a winning season for your football or hockey team, a chance to make your personal "dean's list", or to start a college class no matter what your age. So regardless of terrible hurricanes, personal disappointments, and the falling economy--it's September and that's good.
