Name a favorite activity for Fall. 1. Sitting on the couch watching football all weekend!!! 2. Tear the June page off the calendar 3. Hiking 4. Getting lots of overtime pay for working as many hours as I can prior to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. And getting time off on those days to catch up on my sleep. 5. Simmering a warm apple cider over a campfire 6. Sleeping with the windows just a little open 7. Finally turning off the #$% AC! 8. Parties with firepits Though it never got cool enough last year, even in winter. ---

Good chili and soup weather Next up: Some set up for people who don’t watch or read the Game of Thrones series. In George R.R. Martin’s universe, people who do not have family surnames due to illegitimate or unknown or very low birth take what are called “Bastard Names”. Each region of the continent has its own: the very cold north uses Snow (characters Ramsay Snow and Jon Snow take this as they’re illegitimate), while Walder Frey- an extremely randy and fertile old lord in the Riverlands- has many legitimate children with the surname Frey and even more illegitimate children with the surname Rivers, and the beloved concubine as well as the daughters of Lord Oberyn Martell in the desert lands of the south all have the surname Sand. (There are others as well.) If we had this custom now, what Bastard Names would you recommend for a particular region? 1. Alabama- Cotton (My great-grandmother’s surname, actually, though she was legitimate.) ---
