What gives?  Man, I remember a time when each season felt like it had its own flavor, its own rhythm.  We took our time savoring each one.  Nowadays, it's like we're in this perpetual race, zooming past moments, trying to fast-forward life.  It's like that Adam Sandler movie with the magic remote... And (spoilers) he ends up fast-forwarding himself through everything that makes life worth living...  I think we've gotta got to slow down, breathe, and cruise a bit more in the present. What do you think? How do you stay present and slow down?  All that aside, the first official day of fall is on our doorstep - it's already next week!  And I have to admit, there's a little magic in the air right now.  Slightly cooler breezes, the promise of cozy evenings, and of course, everything apple.  Shelby's been buzzing about all these fall plans she’s got. She even mentioned apple picking here in SoCal.  (I was like, "Really? Here?!" But apparently, there's a spot called Oak Glen in the San Bernardino mountains. I guess it's an apple haven, right here in our backyard. Have any of you been?)  Here's a question - other than the classic Cheech & Chong move of carving a homemade pipe... what creative things do you do with apples?  Got any secret recipes? Fun activities? Or some apple-themed crafts? Hit reply and let me know! I'd love to feature some of notes in upcoming emails.  And hey, let's make a pact to enjoy every moment of this season. Because before we know it, they'll be pushing summer and fall 2024 on us.  Keep on keepin' on,  Peace and love,  [Tommy Signature] Tommy Chong     [Facebook]( [Instagram]( Don't Want These Emails?
