The Summer, or Something Like it...

As a kid nothing seemed to cause such excitability as the onset of summer vacation. I remember that feeling I used to get when the last days of school were winding down and any semblance of order or educational methodology went on hiatus, the only thing left in your teachers lesson plan were cheesy class parties and their own vacation plans...

Those sure were the days? Weren't they?

Perhaps I am being a tad whimsical, but can you blame me? This year, summer has blurred itself into a background of days. The work week blurs into the weekend, and vice versa. I always have such high expectations for my time off, but when I get it, where does it go? Why just a couple of years ago the summer still held so many possibilities, but what about now?

I look at my friend's Facebook profiles and I see photo albums packed to the nines, event planning, invitations galore. The ones I do get I have to turn down for the most part. Still, I have managed to make it out a few times, enough to let my wife and I know that we are still in, still cool. It's too bad that we are so tired from running a household to appreciate it.

Another weekend on the way! Here's hoping!
