Remembering 1981

Like I always do on September 23rd. Heavy sigh. I noted the huge difference in weather...TOTALLY autumnal back then, with temps in the 50s by late afternoon, very brisk winds, fast moving clouds. Today was like August...around 80 and very humid with variable clouds. As I write this at 2:20am, it's still 73 degrees, and there was lightning in the southern distance a little bit ago. And I thought about it being 28 damn years later and did all my usual time & age calculations...wasn't pretty. TWENTY-EIGHT years!? Just crazy in so many ways.
