I may have said it a year ago, or two years, at this time, but it bears repeating -- the sound of sleet rattling on dead leaves, in the blustery chill night, is, for any good Minnesotan, the leitmotif signalling that winter is lurking in the wings and readying itself to take the stage.

Shut the windows and latch 'em tight, turn on the furnace and dig out the flannels. We won't see the 60-plus days again until April, a half-year from now.

You know, part of my frustration at not hearing about the job yet is that, if I *do* get it, I'm going to be moving in *December*, and the transition back into the land of 4 seasons (with a length of cold weather that almost corresponds to the length of really hot weather here) will be that much more abrupt. Plus I've clearly already missed the best part of fall. Ah well....
