The winds of change are blowing, and they have been for awhile.

As Fall is ushered in with cooler temperatures and all-things pumpkin, Summer slips away with tan lines and many memories made.

This summer has begun the process of changes. We are moving — buying a house! Printers Alley is ceasing to exist in the name of progress. Many, many friends have lost loved ones. Jobs have changed for some. Babies were born. Couples got married. Others got divorced.

In all my years, this definitely goes down as one of the most tumultuous summers. Instead of the changes of Fall that I usually anticipate, I instead look to this new season in hopes it might bring some consistency. I hope we are able to deal with the changes we already face, instead of having to brace for more.

So, so long, Summer… You’ve been memorable.
