I'm sorry to report that October and I are no longer seeing each other. http://wrir.org/index.php?/blog/entry/11548/ http://wrir.org/index.php?/blog/entry/11598/ Sadly, we broke up this past Thursday, and she moved out on Friday. I knew it wouldn't last. These fall romances rarely do. There's something significantly poignant, and bittersweet about nursing a broken heart amidst the colorful, dying fall foliage (even if it is over a "girlfriend" that's actually a conceptual ideal). Still, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get all Lloyd Dobler and hoist the metaphorical boom box outside of October's window!
