I might be the only person ready for sweater weather. I’ve been buying cozy cable-knits, planning Halloween costumes and drooling over apple pie recipes in my state of autumnal anticipation. In short, I’m over this heat.

That’s a fairly unpopular opinion, I’m told. While I retreat to air-conditioning, it seems everyone’s rushing to the shore for a final weekend by the sun, or ascending on North Shore for a final hurrah.
