Default Favorite constellation?

Mine are Scorpius and Sagittarius. Had some fine views of both about
midnight tonight.

I remember when I was 14 and newly interested in astronomy. I had a star
map, and stayed up late every summer night learning the summer
constellations. I'll never forget the first time I saw Pegasus in the
eastern sky - I'd memorized it for weeks before I ever saw it.

I can see Pegasus rising in the east again as I type this. It took me back.
Summer just got here and the first harbinger of fall is already creeping
up. The years really do seem to go by faster as you get older. Maybe it's
because you know you are running out of them.
