Autumn Splendor

Sure leaves are pretty from afar but take some time to get real close. Nature is incredible, isn’t it? Oh, and by-the-way, I have this incredible itch to flatten that dried leaf on top. But that’s just me. Every autumn I marvel in the beauty of the fall colors. Whether I’m out for a morning […]

The Sounds of Fall

(Top L to R) Contrasts: A leather football used in a 1932 college football game and the Wilson X Connected Football that, with an iPhone app, will give stats about your throw, such as distance, velocity, spiral efficiency, spin rate, and whether the pass was caught or dropped. Released to stores yesterday. (Bottom L to […]
