Around here, Rocktober is the term that refers to the Colorado Rockies when they're in the playoffs and everyone's getting excited about it.
Since the Rockies aren't anywhere near being postseason contenders, I'm hijacking the term for my own uses. I'm going to use it in reference to the fact that the month of October absolutely ROCKS.
For someone who LOVES two sports -- Major League Baseball and NFL football -- no time of year is better. The baseball playoffs start on Wednesday. The NFL season is really getting into the regular season grind.
The weather is perfect in October. Temperatures are usually between about 50 and 70 degrees. Cool and damp is how I like it. October usually brings a good chunk of clouds and some rain (but not too much). The leaves on the trees are turning. Scenery is beautiful, and almost every day feels like you can put on a sweatshirt and either go outside to play some football, or sit by a window and read while it rains outside. It's just gorgeous.
The sports.
The scenery.
The weather.
ROCKtober is the greatest month ever.
I just posted about my love for October too!
ReplyDeleteYou need to go take some pictures of the turning Aspens.
ReplyDeleteJoel, we're planning a trip into the mountains for apen-viewing on Monday afternoon (thought we'd better wait until post-marathon).
