Is there a word for the opposite of "Indian Summer"?
Dina Maccabee
just wonder if there isn't a term we can use to express the current
foggy doldrums here in the city by the bay... October sunshine can't
come soon enough!
Luckily if you would like to lift your spirits with some live music --
and I know no better way to lift the existential fog -- I can offer
you a nice bundle of upcoming concerts.
Here they are!
