Time to reverse your ceiling fan

In the summer, your ceiling fan keeps you cool by pushing cooler air downwards with its counterclockwise spin. Now that Fall is here, reverse the blades so that, by spinning clockwise, they send the rising warm air back down where it can do you some good.

Early Autumn

The sweet and melow voice of Jo Stafford with "Early Autumn" from her 1955 album Soft and Sentimental.

September Morn

A sad song and, yes, I know it's a Neil Diamond [click] song. But Engelbert does a beautiful job with it.

Happy Saturday!

The sere, the yellow leaf

at Howard Empowered People
I have lived long enough. My way of life
Is fall'n into the sere, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age,
As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have, but, in their stead,
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honor, breath
Which the poor heart would fain deny and dare not.
- Macbeth: Act v Scene 3
