It’s not quite Fall in the northern hemisphere but already the days are noticeably shorter. The mating calls of the crickets, cicadas, and katydids are louder with the fierce urgency of the late season. The sky is more blue, the mornings are more crisp, or that just might be the drugs kicking in. Soon it will be harvest season.

15-20: You really like them apples.
20-25: You’ve spent more time in burlesque clubs than Morey Amsterdam.
HAhahaaha..this is great. I didn’t score myself, though.
It’s no problem that you didn’t score yourself. I’m sure you know your apples. And your burlesque.
I really like them apples, Chris.
I hoped you’d like them apples and the tribute to summer’s end.
What drugs are you on? *wink, wink*
Yeah, that’s the trouble. I think taking drugs would make me too normal.
You made me pull out my mirror again!
Next time I’ll just turn everything upside down. And flip it around. I want to make it nice and challenging.
Hahaha! Brilliant! ?
I wanted to give everyone a chance to score.
