With Labor day wknd finishing up tomorrow, that will pretty much put a bow on the "Summer of Sin". As is the case every year, the intriguing label is an exaggerated version of the sadder truth... its kind of the big yearly joke that my life has become less dynamic than a tombstone..but it's fun to pretend that it's not. This summer wasn't exactly "sinful" especially when you take into account that I played shuffleboard more than most senior citizens... but truth be told I think the summer did live up to the title...
I accomplished so much this summer and had lots of fun. Going to Vegas was just the icing on the cake. But all and all this has probaly been the best summer in recent years. I feel like my schedule was packed tighter than the Presidents (or maybe not, but DEF. the Vice President- wtf does he do?) . I really owe a lot of thanks to my friends for that. Without them I probably would have lived my summer like a hermet crab. Sim and Boye have really been my summer saviors...always including me in their plans...even if its going to some low class pub to meet people from red lobster or driving around aimlessly just to salvage a night. I like quinns, but how many times can u have warm food and even warmer beer...its good to spice things up every so often. Boye and sim provided that for me...They have saved me from a slow and painful Nick at Nite death...or maybe even an Owen Wilson-esque moment.
But last nite was spent taking it all in. After a few frozen drinks with Sim City...I went to my "thinking spot" and tried to put everything into perspecive. I dont know if thats normal but its something that is becoming more and more common in my old age. My life, my relationship- lows, and my family...were the subjects dejour and nothing was off limits. Adfter an hour or so of muttering to myself and mass debating, I walked out feelin' refreshed and tired. I dont know if it did me any good...but I want to think it did.
So with Bert's BBQ next wknd I think it''ll be the end of a long but enjoyable summer. Hopefully the goodtimes don't end and they start to carry over...maybe the new season will kick up a notch with "the Truth" O'Malley....we'll see.
