I like it! i think you need to change it to where did I go this time this year, or add an ‘again’ somewhere in there so we know that this is the second year you have missed the autumn show. And you are right, we should get out and enjoy it before it is gone!

Sounds like a lament on adulthood, the inevitable reality of being mired in the day to day to the exclusion of appreciating the world around you.

I took your advice, Elsha, and to THX: it completely is that. I hate how the wonders of the world I saw so few years ago have disappeared along with my innocence.
