Come on, Owls!

No, I am not at a sporting event rooting for the "Owls" team....

As you can see, I chose an owl motif for my blog when I created it a few months ago.  There is a very simple reason for this.  I hate summer.  Unclear logic, you say??  Let me explain...It gets hot here in Houston - very hot.  And it stays hot for a very...very...very...long time.  The owls made me think of fall, which I love with a rare and best left unexplored tenacity.  I mean - I really love it.  The sights, the sounds, the smells.  I love the baking, the pumkpins, the apples....the leaves....oh, the leaves.  (I haven't seen real fall leaves in a few years now.)  So...I chose the owl motif simply because it reminded me of that most glorious time of year - the time at which summer is the farthest away.  Fall leads to Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving to Christmas....it's bliss.

But the owls have failed me.  I thought their "autumn-ness" could convince me that it was fall so thoroughly that my admittedly powerful mind might be able to alter the very fabric of reality - thereby creating fall.

Well, it's still 90 degrees here.  The weatherman today even said that we'd have "more summertime" in the coming week.  Oh, how I hate him.  Well, not him...just the news he bears.  

So, I'm asking the owls to please, please bring the fall.  Come on!!  I think you can.  I think you can.  I think you can...
