This post will be doing multiple-duties since we didn’t have a recap last week – summarizing the final days of summer, the arrival of fall, and everything else that’s happened in the last two weeks. Let’s get right to it so you can check out what you may have missed in the maelstrom:
Newsflash: according to Madonna, life is a circle. See ‘Extreme Occident.’
The potent cocktail that knocked everyone on their ass.
A watermelon appetizer with some verve and bite.
Summer concluded with a four part recap, starting with this Speedo-clad dose of gratuitous silliness.
Part Two of the summer recap was all about the heat of July and all the florals that came with it (and the Speedo slips off at the end).
Bringing up the third part of summer was the shenanigans of August, that sultry time of the year which always begs for more.
The last part of the summer recap featured even more Speedo shots because September demanded it.
Aww shit, I should have just linked you to this post, which combines all the summer recaps in one place.
As soon as summer ended, we went immediately into our fall season, starting off with a seven part series on my state career thus far. That’s never been something I’ve written about much in these parts, but I was feeling nostalgic, and with all the back-to-school stuff it felt like a fitting time for those of us in the workforce, especially other government workers.

Fall is for gentle piano music. Things will get stormy enough.
A pile of leaves burns and releases its smoke into the fall air. Crisp bite of mid-morning, sharp sliver of sunlight, and whispers of witches ride on the night wind. Cast a spell of autumnal enchantment…
