Me too. Earlier this spring and summer the morning news shows based in NY were smiling and laughing day after day about how "lucky" we were in the West to have unseasonably warm weather. I wanted to grab them through the screen and shake them.

I have to say that I did my best to throw myself into summer this year and I am a tiny bit sad its ending. Not that sad but it goes to show you if you find activities to do and things to keep you busy it makes the time easier to pass. @Fluffy Kitty That's the ticket, be it surfing or other activities you can do it.

Thanks! I'm sick today, and I was getting aggro about the fact that our lawn needs watering (In October! In Oregon!), but your note reminded me how much I love the beginning of the growing season when we get to (vs. "have to") start irrigating the garden.

Me too! Usually I'm pretty excited for the winter. aim it a summer gal. Which is odd because rock climbing is my fav sport ever, but I much prefer to climb in the spring and fall when temps are moderate. When it starts getting all hot & humid, I usually just lay around and b!tch about the weather. This summer, I started trail running though and found I really enjoyed it. I tended to do that on the weekends when the cliffs were super crowded and found I really enjoyed the peace & solitude. and since I was getting uber sticky and sweaty anyway....
In the end I'm a little sad to see summer go (we also had a somewhat mild summer, so maybe that has something to do with?). I'll miss climbing and running.... Right until that first moment I click into skis and then I'll totally be over it!!!!!
But yes, sports you can enjoy in different seasons and different conditions is key!!!!
That is just wrong.

This, I know all too well. Went on a dive trip at the end of a cold and felt fine, but I must have still had some congestion in my ears. I descended no deeper than 60' and couldn't clear my ears. Did the [really baaaaad] plug your nose and blow to pop or clear your ears maneuver, and had a dizzy spell at 60' that scared the heck out of me and ended with a sharp pain in my ear that persisted for two weeks and kept me out of diving for most of the rest of the trip. FWIW and completely off topic, going to a walk-in clinic in Mexico was actually a better experience than I've had in a few walk-in clinics in the US.
