Fall Back

Last night we (should have) turned-back our clocks.

Despite the popular contempt for changing-the-clocks, I kind of like the adjustment. Growing-up in Hawaii, we didn't have seasonal time changes—such was the benefit of living at a southern latitude.  But, "on the mainland," I find that the earlier evenings are befitting of the Fall—and my innate desire to hibernate.  I certainly don't mind the extra hour of sleep, on the night we "Fall Back."  And, for those who complain that it now gets dark "so darned early," I remind them that this—Autumnal—time zone is the real, unadulterated, Standard clock setting.  This is the time it is supposed to get dark!

Shown above, a lighthearted take on the (somewhat) annoying topic: Autumn Leaves.  Not only is it darker earlier, but the seemingly endless cascade of leaves can be a bother to manage and keep neat.

These Modernist rocks glasses, made in the Fifties, are lightened with frosted walls and decorated with 22 karat gold "falling leaves."  The set of six will make an upbeat contribution to your next cocktail party—even if it's dark outside.  Click on the photo above to learn more about this handsome set of glasses.
