Column: Beans, beans, musical fruit
It's November and you know what that means in North Florida: Our first cool nights have finally arrived. Yes indeed, the mercury is dipping below the 70s in the evenings and panic and pandemonium have broken out in the streets! OK, not really, but the first chilly evenings around here are bittersweet like a Meyer lemon. On one hand, you realize that summer is now officially over. (I know, I know. Folks up North are laughing out loud right now. "It's November, and the guy is lamenting the end of summer. Let's throw him a pity party." True, but it's not our fault we have such terrific weather in Florida.) On the other hand, it's time to pull out the jeans and sweaters and start cooking autumnal comfort food, and that is welcome news to me.

State Cross Country Capsules
Class 4A When: 7:55 a.m. girls, 8:45 a.m. boys; Saturday Where: Little Everglades Ranch, Dade City Local teams involved: Bartram Trail >Glance: This the day the Bartram girls have been looking forward to all season. They're so deep that they never really go all out in the regular season yet still dominate. Bartram is coming off victories in the district and regional meets the last two weeks. Now, they are trying to improve upon last year's third-place finish, maybe even bring back a state title. The main competition for Bartram appears to be Our Lady of Lourdes Academy of Miami. In the Region 4-4A meet, Lourdes was completely unchallenged, getting its first five runners in the top six with its sixth runner in eighth. The key for Bartram could be getting top runners Melanie Novack, Callie Cooper and Alaina Perez in front of No. 1 Lourdes Meagan Hoar. The Bartram boys enter Saturday's race after a strong fourth-place finish in the regional. It doesn't appear Bartram has the frontrunners to beat the top South Florida schools, but the Bears can still shoot for a top-five finish. Eric Ochoa has been leading the Bears all season and was seventh in the regional.
