Summer is coming to an end, and we’re putting the swimsuits in the back of our closets and digging out our second most favorite attire: Football jerseys! Time to dust off the old team sweatshirts, party beads, face tattoos, cheerleader outfits, and costumes. While some of us prefer to watch the games in the cool shelter of a bar with a hi-def TV, there’s nothing quite like a tailgate party. It’s considered the ultimate outdoor party, and for some sports fans, is what they look forward to all year long. Yet, what began as a budget-friendly alternative to expensive concession stand food and drinks has itself turned into a wallet-draining activity that one person could easily spend thousands of dollars on annually.

With school back in full swing for most of us and soccer practice starting any day now, we can’t help but, realize autumn is on its way! Autumn or fall whichever you choose to call it is a favorite season for many. While it is always sad to say farewell to summertime, the new boots and sweaters popping up in your favorite department store are easily urging you to welcome the next season. The evenings get cooler, the air a bit sweeter and who doesn’t go crazy for the beauty of changing leaves? When the seasons begin to change it is always a time to celebrate. The official first day of Autumn is September 22nd this year. There are many different ways to celebrate, a common way to do so is the harvest party. For most of us this will be one of the last times you can have an outdoor party. So if you have a big yard and or live in the country, this is a great time to have your last hurrah in the outdoors this year. Worried it will get cold as the night goes on? Have a fire.

Your language and behavior is different while being at work in a professional manner rather than hanging out in the back yard with friends, or at least we hope it is. Part of that difference is in the language, a difference not just in the words we use but in what is called tone. We also recall being told, when we were very young, not to “use that tone of voice with me, Mister “. Just as the pitch and volume of one’s voice carry a difference in tone from street to business, the choice of words and the way we put our sentences together convey a sense of tone in our writing. The tone, in turn, conveys our attitude toward our audience and our subject matter. Are we being frivolous or serious, casual or formal, sweet or stuffy? The choice of a single word can change the tone of a paragraph, even an entire essay.
