Change in seasons quotes

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. 
So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.
-  Nathaniel Hawthorne

"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made.  The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air."-   Eric Sloane


"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all."
-   Stanley Horowitz


"The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly
changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools."
-   Henry Beston, Northern Farm



These are Quotes I found about the upcoming change in seasons.

Acadia News Puzzle No. 1

A Cryptoquip is a puzzle that replaces one letter with another letter.  For example, if in a puzzle a clue says "Clue: X equals N", a person would replace all the X's with the letter N.  Working with all the clues, a person would try to complete the puzzle.  Since most of the Cryptoquips will be questions, there will be an answer to the puzzle.  After solving the Cryptoquip, a person would try to solve the question.

Dan's TV Favs

            When I was growing up, I had a few favorite actors/actresses and movies/shows.  My first favorite movie(s) were "Back to the Future I, II, & III."  That being said, my first favorite actor was, of course, Marty McFly; I mean Michael J. Fox.  I remember saying to myself, I wanna be super cool, highly respected and have a sweetheart girlfriend just like him!  At that time I also enjoyed watching the  prime-time television shows "Who's the Boss" and when I could, "Beverly Hills 90210."  On the a fore mentioned shows, I liked watching Shannen Doherty of "90210" and I swear, for a while, I had the biggest crush on Alyssa Milano's character, Samantha, on "Who's the Boss."  I figured,"look, all of my classmates try to be like them and they are really,really awesome!"  You may notice that most of my favorite actors and actresses appeared on my favorite programs and no offense, they just don't write them like they used to back in the later 80's and early 90's!  Ready? 1,2,3, Action!!!

The Colosseum Fun Center Bowling Review

Written by Stephen
The Colosseum Fun Center Is a very neat and modern Family Entertainment Center, Located in Camp Hill, PA. They twelve lanes with State of the art AMF, Qubica and Qubica-AMF equipment in the basement with an ajacent sports-pub style bar-lounge, and a large arcade and a main bar and grill style restaurant on the main level. They have the Bowler Entertainment System, scoring system, and a neat glow-bowling lighting system The guy who worked in the bowling area, Michael, was very friendly, he switched us to a different lane when the pinsetter broke-down, and after we were done bowling, he showed me the machine room were the pinsetters were and demonstrated how they operate. Overall the experience was fun, and like some neat, modern bowling alley in Europe.

My Journey

            People attend musical concerts for many different reasons.  My parents, knowing what a huge Journey fan I am, purchased Foreigner & Journey tickets for my birthday a few years back.  When they gave them to me, I was in almost a mild state of shock and disbelief.  On the car ride over to the show in Hershey I kept telling myself, "as a loyal,die-hard Journey fan, you have to man up and not cry!" I was doing great until Foreigner started to perform "Waiting For a Girl Like You" and I just completely lost it.  I tried to pull myself together, but it was no use; my emotion card had been played.  I choked back the tears all the way through Journey's encore song, "Faithfully."  Looking back, I am not ashamed with myself.  Sometimes a persons emotions override  society's stereotypes!  Never be afraid to start a Journey.
