IowaMan - I was just talking with Cobalt last weekend about how brown and ugly the land is between the end of falling leaves and the first snow accumulation. I think that is part of it - although I am worried about the ice.

I know the other part of it is that I don't have to feel guilty about not going into work.. lol - We can actually spend the day playing video games or 'other' games if we want.

I get the same way at the end of winter just before the earth starts to sprout the little bit of green and the trees start budding out....
