It’s (almost) officially here!
And don’t give me that fall-starts-after-Labor-Day nonsense. Fall is, has been, and always will be starting on the day of the autumnal equinox, which, this year, is Sept. 23.
You’d think I’d be a little less enthused about about a date that delineates when we start getting less daylight than nighttime, but whatever. With apologies to the parts of the country that don’t get a full four seasons, autumn is a gorgeous, glorious time in the Commonwealth – leaves turning, crisp air, seasonal beverages, all that stuff.
Also, elections.
And because I happen to hail from Virginia, that means I’m one of the lucky few who get elections each and every fall (yes, I see you there, New Jersey. Don’t worry, you get a little nod this week, too).
So let’s check in!
