Just grasping it in the moment
Mid summer. Here it is. Labor Day will be here before I know it, then off to San Fran, and before you know it we will set the clocks back and Summer will be long gone. But right now it feels good to be living it in the moment. But damn it's hot here in Houston!
What ever happened to the summers I had growing up in Mobile? I think I played outside all day every day and always had stuff to do. Day camps, swimming, movies and riding my bike EVERYWHERE. It was always an adventure. I think that is what I miss most about summer - simply having it off. Wouldn't it be cool just to have the summer to do nothing again? Can't beat life when your biggest concern is where you are gonna go tomorrow to pick black berries or what you are gonna add to your fort. If I could do anything I would probably travel constantly and maybe even go on the road with Spirit.
Greg moved back from NYC last week and I have had a blast hangin' with my long time buddy and catching up on what has been going on. Mark my words, there will be some shenanigans on the horizon. Good friends like him are priceless.
Friday I had my "conversation" with Jim at the office. For now I think he tried his best and I am glad they upped the pot for me but no where near it should be. I suppose they get another shot to put a package together. Sure money is good but at the end of the day, the work and career path have got to be what I want. We will see where this goes.

I so agree with the summer thing. It seems as an adult, there isn't really a summer. It's just warm and lighter longer, but really my life doesn't change. I long for the days of bike riding with friends and eating ice cream at 8 pm when it's still light out side and weekends on a lake. Oh, to be a kid again or just an adult that has the time to do it. I seem to be neither. I think I need a summer buddy! LOL.
Glad to hear you friend is back in town. Friends are so great to have "back". Enjoy your time with him.
There is only one good thing about summer ending ....do you know what it is?? Sure you do.....comment and tell me what I'm thinking!
Exactly so.
I think it is the freedom that summers as a kid provided that make those memories so strong.
There is only one thing that was good about summer ending. Going back to school and the excitement that brought. The first day of school - I can totally go back to that place in my mind. Not sleeping the night before, waking up early that morning and showing up to school the first day. Even more exciting if it's a new school. My lunch box. New clothes. New friends. New teachers. LUNCH TIME!! Even the excitement of learning new things (yeah I am a nerd). You totally took me back there - thanks for the memory.
I think I am right........
Well you are right, especially now for me...but I was thinking
FOOTBALL!!!!
Am I more of a football fan than you...can't be? :-)
