MAPLE: An Autumn Acrostic

I’m keeping myself frequently updated on the presidential campaign and news about the gazillion dollar bailout for Wall Street. I’ve also been spending a lot of time reading political blogs. I need a good shot of hope. Can anybody spare some?

Here’s a short acrostic for autumn. It’s all I could manage today. I had a retirement party yesterday. I hadn’t planned to stay so long--but it was good to see my old teaching colleagues.
