Autumn is my favorite time of the year. When the air smells of future snows... when the wind makes the dry leaves dance and swirl. Samhain, Rosh Hashana, Dia de los Muertes. Endings, and beginnings. This is a time to tie up loose ends, and to make new plans for the spring. I need to sit down and think about what needs to be resolved, and what can be set in motion.

And I need to find a Halloween costume. I was just invited to a party on the weekend, and two days is not enough time to throw something together. It's time to hit the thrift stores; or maybe I can just go as a Poor Graduate Student...
