One of the reasons Fall is my favorite season is the event I call “The Winter-Coat Dig.” The first time I put my winter coat on, I stuff my hands into all the pockets looking for anything I accidentally left there last Spring (money). This year I was a little bummed out because all I found was a wad of receipts and a tube of chap stick.

However, I had a unique experience this year I had never considered before: digging through my son’s coat.

Among the nicknack’s was one item almost as good as money. . . the mp3 player I lost last Spring.

So, I had a good “Winter Coat Dig” after all.
