Did we even have a summer this year? I thought we went from spring straight to fall.

This summer? Not a gorram thing. Worst three months of this decade for me, and I'm happy to see the end of it.

Yes definitely Tads. "Jayhawk" is my fave flavor. just a grape and cherry mix, but oh so good, and oh so team loyal. The wife likes "summer Breeze"...it makes her feel fine.

spending extra time with the kids and watching my lefty finally get to the stage where he could swim during swim lessons without looking like he was having a siezure.

Fall is my favorite season, so...not much. It was fine while it was here -- actually, this was better than most because the weather was more pleasant than usual -- but I'm happy fall is here.

R_I~ I think you can still wear your tube tops after Labor Day as long as they're not white.
Also--as long as you stay indoors with the shades drawn whilst wearing them. Agreed, girls? Multi? Ronda?
This was the best summer I've ever spent in KS, due to the lack of excessive heat. Even in August, the fields were green and not scorched and dead.
And, while I don't miss school being out, per se, I do miss the luxury of not having to set the alarm clock.
