Summertime and boardwalks...somethings just never go out of fashion. It has always amazed me that people, while on vacation, will spend money on things that they would rarely buy any other time. It's not unlike trying to win that over stuffed teddy bear at the county fair. It's all in that category of "it seemed  like a good idea at the time". Ahh..summer!

Summer's first weekend is here! There's fun aplenty just waiting out there, enjoy! Life is good.

Summer Steps Down

Labor Day is an annual benchmark. For years, when the first Monday of September rolls around, I have pointed to the fact that September 21st marks summer's official end. Lately though I have become resigned to the fact that things do feel quite different the day after Labor Day. The beach is empty, the school buses are running (or rather stopping in front of you!), the mornings are cooler, the temperature drops much more quickly after an earlier sunset and it's more about football than baseball. For better or worse, change is in the air.

BTW: Happy Labor Day.
