Every year, we say the same thing: “I can’t believe summer’s already over!” “It goes by too fast!” My personal favorite, “I’m moving somewhere where it’s always summer!” The last one is my line, I say it every single year without fail. But 47 years into my life, and I still live up here. I figure there must be something keeping me here. Well, there is. For one, it’s family. I was born and raised just across the border in MN. A nice quick jaunt down the highway and I’m near my family, where the last two generations of my family have called home. My daughter has her friends here, and we’re not about to uproot her from them. Also, as much as I say I love summer…..what I really love is what summer represents. Freedom, sunshine, wearing shorts and sandals, boating, cruising with the top down on the car, and just the overall feeling of happiness. When it’s hot and humid outside, I don’t complain anymore, but for the most part I stay inside where it’s comfy and cozy. So, considering that, maybe I’m more of a late spring or early fall type of guy. When outside temps are 70 and humidity is low. Ok, so other than California, where is the weather like that all year? Maybe we’ll be moving there in 4 years when my daughter graduates. I’ll have to convince the entire family to move with us!

Netflix just released the new documentary highlighting the train wreck that was Woodstock 1999. Woodstock 1999 was commemorating 30 years since the original Woodstock in 1969. The two concert festivals were not held in the exact same location, which, according to the documentary, might have actually been part of the reason why it went so […]

Unread E-mails
I’m going to take a guess that most of us can relate to this topic. Having unread emails in our inbox. Maybe you have multiple email accounts with a bunch of unread messages. I have a handful of different accounts for different parts of my life, and right now the number of unread messages, in […]
