Have you ever stood in front of the mounds of zucchinis in the grocery store in August, stabbed through the heart because you used to make zucchini-egg patties for your kid at the end of each summer but that kid is now 35 and living in another state and you don’t even have a word for how you feel?

Have you ever put on long underwear under your heaviest pants, plus your Icelandic sweater, plus your biggest, fattest down coat and then gone outside to discover today is 50 degrees warmer than yesterday?
