From My Mind to....

Cool Cruising

I know that it's Fall, officially, I mean. But I'm not ready to give up the shorts of Summer. The first time I have to wear long pants (other than for some event) then Summer is really over. A long-sleeved shirt or light jacket doesn't count. It's a rule, you know. My wife thinks I have too many rules.

This morning's walk was my coolest walk yet at 54 degrees. But the weatherman is calling for an  80 degree high. Shorts, definitely!

In less than a week, we fly to Quebec City to begin a ten-day Fall Foliage cruise up the St. Lawerence through several Maritime provinces down the coast of Maine ending in Portland. Growing up in Maine, I have no illusions that the October temperature may get down to the low 40's in the morning.

I just hope the fall colors are vibrant this year and worth the cooler temps. Looking forward to a great trip, bundled up or not.
