In central Illinois the Junior High Schools play their baseball season, which runs until the first of October. All of the Junior Colleges play a Fall intra-squad series of some kind, as well as some games against other JC's. Many of the colleges play their laid-back alumni games - we did one in Hawaiian shirts, just for fun). In any event, September and October are our months to wind down after the busy Spring and Summer. Hibernation (defined as a beer and a La-Z-Boy more than one night a week) can be a wonderful thing. It also allows us to reintroduce ourselves to those other people who live in our house (defined as family). Yep, boredom will set in. But it's always followed at some point around the first of the year by anticipation. Ahhh!
