Late Fall Dispatch

It's been an eventful season. Something about autumn just makes me want to maximize every day, to pack things in -- there's a quality in the air that just motivates. Maybe it's the sense that it's all a fleeting moment and that in a matter of weeks it'll all be gone and the shroud of winter will have rolled in. Just like life itself I guess.

Some highlights of the last few months:
