Less light, more night

I drove home today after the gym and the grocery store, and it hit me: it's already getting darker earlier. The light is clutching to the sky as long as it can, giving up the ghost around 8. Fall is coming on, and I guess in a few months it'll be dark once I leave the office.
Arg. One of the things I love the most about the summer is how long it stays light, and I try to soak up as much of its warmth as I can to sustain me through the winter.
Still, with all my grumpiness, Fall has its benefits, and even Winter does, too. Also, no matter how bad it gets, another summer is around the corner, and the days slowly get better and better.

Something else just occurred to me:
All our lives we practice at sleep until someone/something decides we should turn pro.
