The Final Stretch

It's a little bit frightening how quickly Fall has come upon us. The temperatures have cooled to a most comfortable medium. The days of sunburns and suntanning are almost behind us. It's the kind of weather where anything goes - shorts if you're brave, pants if not, and capris if you're in between. The nights are cooler, so sleeping is a dream (pardon the pun). No more sticky savannah nights in my second floor downtown Toronto apartment. I can sleep peacefully again with my door closed and the sound of Dundas Street West safely behind it.

The temperature isn't the only change though, the leaves are changing. Already, the green leaves are turning to a warm yellow shade and some already hinting at red. Leaves are beginning to cloak the ground, falling idly off of trees on the final breath of summer. It's becoming clear that her breath won't be warm for long and soon enough there will be a cooler breeze blowing through Toronto and I'll finally get to pull out my favourite cropped jacket from last season to curl up in. Hurray! It's coming - and it's my favourite.

This post is going to be short, since I must pack my bags as Miss Yu will be here in a precious few to pick me up for an evening at her cottage. We'll be accompanyed by our wonderful guitar master Neil, a bottle of wine, good food, great weather and most of all good times! Anywho, here's to relaxing and enjoying the final breath of summer - oh and reading Anne of Green Gables! That's right I'm re-reading the Anne Files.

Next up on the music front - Sonny Rollins, Tenor Madness and Miles Davis, Milestones.
See you soon, xo.
