Sunset on sum-ner
Where oh where did the summer go? Last summer was full of memories and good times, this year not so much. Seems like all I did was work, sleep and kickball. Not that kickball wasn't memorable. I just don't feel like I have DONE summer this year.
I hope this is not the harbinger of years to come, as I age, the seasons fly by faster and faster. Yet I know this to be true - each season occupies a smaller fraction of my collective experience than the last, each year shorter in relation to the last.
I do long for the days of my childhood, each season seeming so eternal that the next was welcome before it arrived, seemingly long overdue.
However I must embrace this trend of age, learn to enjoy the quickening passing of the seaons rather than yearing for what is no longer. How oh how, what pleasure is there in the quickening wheel, when each day/season/year seems gone before I can feel closure?

Hey Kevin,
Long time no see, but that's probably because we live in different states and hang in different crowds. I was thinking about you a few months ago and found your blog. Glad to see you've updated it. Clever title though, I must say it suits you perfectly. I have to agree I don't know where the summer went. I spent most of it stressing about one thing or another and working. I need to chill out I think. Anyway, just wanted to say hello. If you get bored check out my website. Google "Joni's Superpage" it should come up. Take care of yourself. ~Joni
P.S. I heard Chris was in Denver a while ago, did you get a chance to visit with him?
You should move to Phoenix. Summer lasts forgoddamnever here.
