Summer Approacheth

I have a love/hate relationship with summer. On the one hand, I do like that the grey of winter is long gone, and, maybe it's a holdover from childhood, but somehow it seems like everyone's a little bit more relaxed. And in DC, that means you can leave work at 5 instead of 7 and not feel bad about it. But I have to say, summer hasn't done for me like I'd hoped these last few years. It's let me down a few too many times. And I hate wearing shorts! There, I said it. Summer '04 was going to be great! I declared on May 30th that it would be the best summer ever! I also declared it Martini Summer. That was not a good idea. Some of the worst headaches of my life and nothing really to show for it. Last summer I decided to hedge my bets and not declare it anything and it wasn't. Anything. Special. I don't know what I expect from summer. It's just a few short months where people generally wear less clothes and get sunburns. But still, I'm optimistic about this one. New things are on the horizon. Something better is just around the bend. This is going to be the Best Summer Ever!

Maybe if I were still this age, I'd like summer better.



OK, last summer did have some nice moments.
