WOLF: Fall Is the Runt of the Litter when It Comes to Seasons - The Northern View

The columnist says fall is a 10-month stretch of transition, unlike summer or winter, and argues its sports and foliage perks do not change that.

  • On a clear late-August night, PQB News editor Philip Wolf stepped into his backyard wearing a T-shirt and felt the familiar shift: "Holy crap, fall is almost here."
  • Unlike spring, fall marked the end of summer freedom for Wolf; he recalls "staring down a 10-month stretch until you were free again," a transition his Nana always corrected to autumn.
  • Best of all, fall offers a "glorious sweet spot" for sports fans, with playoff baseball, the NFL, NHL, and NBA all competing simultaneously for viewership.
  • You become a parent and recognize the same wistfulness in your children's eyes, leading Wolf to tell his kids, "Don't forget a hoodie, it was a little chilly last night."
  • While Winter offers skiing and soup, fall remains the "runt of the seasons litter" for Wolf, a personal preference unchanged since he was six years old.
