Yesterday morning, it happened: I got my first glimpse of autumn. It wasn’t the temperature, because lord knows DC was as steamy as ever.

A typical snapshot of conversation between me and my Mom, taken from my departure early yesterday morning: Mom: I’m going to miss you so much. Me: Aw, Mom, You won’t miss me that much.
