Running out of summer holidays

Memorial Day & Independance Day are gone, Labor Day is only a few weeks away and I can already see myself planning way past it. Summer is nearly over and like always I’m wondering where it all went. I just checked and I’ve got about 3 weeks of paid time off on the books, so outside of my summer hospitalization, I’ve been sitting at my desk at work. I remember when I went canoeing on the Harpeth river a couple times a summer just on principle. My skin is pale and summer is almost over.

What usually dictates my summer schedule is the theatrical release calendar, but I haven’t seen many movies this summer either. I guess I’ve just been looking forward to the fall video game release calendar. I’ve already put aside $120 to purchase Guitar Hero 5 and The Beatles: Rock Band.

I need to make another trip to Memphis and get in some of my daddy’s barbecue ribs before the last summer holiday ushers in the start of Autumn and I missed the whole thing. At least fall weather means camping and football.
