by Larry EderThe long run, especially at the end of the season is a time to reflect. It is the time to consider the good times and tough times of the season, and how the last 24 weeks have gone for you. It is a time to enjoy the fall and early winter and know that there are times to plan for the next season.
One more week, and you will see that seasons do end.
