Hey Frank, thanks for the reminder!

The musical choice is appreciated though

Ron, that sounds like a great way to grow up. Three months in a mountain cabin? Wow...I could go for that myself right now! My guys have had the summer off, and there's some grumbling about school starting on Tuesday.

I do get a funny little pang about summer ending. I had so many ideas and didn't get around to enough of them. And if fall would only be followed by spring. The older I get, the more unappealing winter becomes for me.

Because this weekend always meant that summer was over, I always hated it. I miss those carefree days of summer to this day. My dad was a teacher and we had 3 months off at our cabin in the Santa Cruz mountains. I feel sorry for kids today in California who have different schedules and don't get the summer off. Summer meant, "No more classes, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks!"

It was never the same after I grew up and entered the world of work. My mini-vacations have never been that carefree (especially when I take my cell phone with me). Frank, your grunt of "ugh" about winter coming mirrors my feeling exactly.

It's one of my all-time favorite songs...and it's the soundtrack I hear every summer at this time...it's over, and now it's on to fall....and winter (ugh).
