I write this month’s column I am looking outside at grey sky and the warm sweater that wraps my ever expanding middle-aged mid-section is keeping the shivers at bay. Now granted, this is Southern California and tomorrow it will probably be in the ’80s again and I can put my shorts back on, but we are indeed in the season where things wind down for the year. Those in colder climates huddle in tight, and the joys of settling into your “winter projects” are ahead.
