Life

How is your summer going?  A thunderstorm rolled through the other night.  I woke up in bed and could hear the thunder rumbling in the distance and could see the flashes of lightning lighting up the sky.  It reminded me of the old Bob Seger song.."I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in"   Wow - Powerful lyrics that still resonate with me to this day.

Life moves on - my basement flooded during a storm due to new construction near my house - insurance covering but what a pain in the *ss to have the entire basement ripped apart, flooring, walls, etc.  But that is why you have insurance.  So in five weeks or so I will have a "new" finished basement.   Trying to figure out a way to say that my old rear projection TV got water damage so I can put in a new 70" flat screen  ;-)  LOL

I know my last post was about summer's swan song - but now here in mid-august you REALLY can feel the change of season coming - It's dark by 8pm now, and the mornings are a little cooler.   and BLASTED!  I HATE seeing all the back to school sales, signs, commercials etc.  Brings back memories of being a kid - that feeling of dread and excitement all in one about getting back to school.

I think summer still has some tricks up her sleeve before she relents to autumn.   The USA is still hot overall, the pools are still filled with kids, and there is plenty of time to enjoy your back-yard, beach or park.  Take a stroll with your loved one, eat an ice cream cone, have a slice of watermelon, have a BBQ and invite friends!

Life is short - enjoy!
