Hello and wow, it feels like ages since I jumped in this saddle. Up here in Seattle, Fall seems to have rolled around pretty quickly and without any care for how much I love hot weather, so I picked up the Dictionary. In that book, full of words and things I don't know, I decided to focus on a certain word: autumnal. Autumnal is the kind of word that people throw around all the time and I just sorta nod my head like, "Yeah, yeah, I love the smell of mulling spices, too." But in a greater and more real sense, I do not know what it actually means.
