Essays on living, loving and learning. Saturday, September 14, 2013. I do not want fall to come this year. This year is decidedly not normal. But why has this full-fledged funk cometh during my absolute favorite time of the year? I expect it to arrive promptly in late winter in the guise of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
