The Long Slide

Yes, it has started. In truth, the slide begins around Labor Day.

School starts WHIZ

then fall foliage WHIZ WE'RE GOING FAST

followed by Halloween OH MY GOD CAN ANYONE STOP THIS THING

then Thanksgiving HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!

I'm not going to say where it ends because it's too early for that. The month of December is traditionally dedicated to holiday bitching at CFTE and that will be soon enough.

Doesn't the track look lovely? It's cold enough that it almost deters me from getting out there. But of course, once I do, it warms up and feels great to log those laps.

Last year it didn't really snow until March. Do you ever notice how people love to make dire predictions that don't come true? In August, all you hear is, "they say it's going to be a brutal winter this year." The Farmer's Almanac says blah blah blah.

Screw the Farmer's Almanac. Or Poor Richard's Almanac or whatever it is. I'd rather read Little Richard's Almanac: WIDE OPEN, BABY. NADINE!!! GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!!!

CFTE prediction: NO SNOW UNTIL 08.

NO BAD SNOWSTORMS

NO PLOW GUY NEEDED

I'm basing these statements on the fact that the Patriots are undefeated and the Red Sox won everything.

How far can our luck go?

Be here now, dear reader. It's all good.

A bientot
