Fall is Here!

Boy oh boy…I can’t believe it’s already the 3rd of October.  The season has changed, the sun sets much earlier now, and it rained today!! Soon it will be Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and then we’ll be shopping for a Christmas tree again! Crazy.

After a month of driving to and from work, I decided to go back to my old ways and took BART to work again this week.  Sometimes it’s nice to have a 15-20 minute drive to work.  But then again, I love sitting on a quiet BART train with my newspaper and feeling oh so relaxed when I get to work.  The only stressful part of my commute would be the transitions.  Some mornings (like today), I find myself sprinting from one stop to another.  This morning, I ran across the street to catch the approaching train, got off at Embarcadero and dashed up the escalator, through the turnstile, and down the other escalator to catch the approaching BART train.  Once I arrived at my station, I dashed down the escalator, through the turnstile, and sprinting down to the curb where the employee shuttle was about to take off.  I made it to work in record time…only 30 minutes!!  It usually takes 45 so that was quite a feat.

But I digress…as I was saying, Autumn is here and I can’t wait for the time to change back.  I can honestly say that I never really adjusted to Daylight Saving Time.  I still need that extra hour of sleep.
