Today, September 22, 2018, is the autumnal equinox. Fall has traditionally been associated with things like Thanksgiving, the proliferation of all things “pumpkin spice,” and going back to school. However, in these modern times, school often starts not in a traditional autumn month like September, but in August. And sometimes you’re not going back to school, but arriving at a new place for the first time. I spent September 20 (two days ago) watching and participating in the delivery of a newly minted college freshman to her dorm.
