Are you ready for another depressing sign that summer is depressingly over?
I just went outside to start the grill so that I could cook myself a burger and a dog for lunch. The grill wouldn’t start. I think it’s out of gas.
Somehow that’s even more depressing than being three days past Labor Day.
Summer really is over, kids. It’s time to start crying.
This weekend is a big deal. It is the last weekend before school starts. Bittersweet for the kids, to say the least, and time for the grown ups’ morning schedules to be thrown into a little bit of chaos.
Jen and my step daughter have a big event planned for tomorrow. My step son and I are staying home, possibly to watch Star Wars movies all day long. That suits me fine! Maybe Sunday we can think of something interesting to do to wrap up the summer school vacation. I don’t know yet.
Any ideas?
The calendar says it’s August 1st.
No.
Nope.
Uh uh.
No way.
Not happening.
It is way too early in the summer for it to be this late in the summer. We’re less than a month from back to school. No way. I don’t believe it. It’s really like June 1st, not August 1st.
Slow down, time! Would you give us a break and slow down?
Urgh.
I cooked lunch for me and the Mrs on the grill today. A couple of burgers, a hot dog. simple enough. I threw it all on the grill, messed around with Oggl while it cooked. Checked on it after a few minutes and it was done. I threw some cheese on the love of my life’s burger, waited for it to melt, and then took everything in and ate it.
It wasn’t until lunch was over that I realized I never turned the gas on, or lit the grill!
Woah babie, it is HOT out there!
Happy 4th of July to all of the folks visiting from the U S of A. Are you having a good time celebrating? Good!
We are up in New Hampshire somewhere trying to find ourselves a lake to jump in. Literally.
Happy Birthday, USA!
We spent Friday night and Saturday visiting our friends Kathy and Dave and their son in Wolfeboro, NH. We had a great time. Thanks for having us!
Happy First Day of Summer, everyone!
Let’s all go jump in the ocean to celebrate!
There is no hockey game tonight. That blows. I hate this two days between games crap. It’s torture, especially when your team lost the last game. We need a game tonight, damn it!
Hey, guess what. Today is the first day of summer. Yesterday was a beautiful day to send off Spring and now we have Summer. Today is the longest day of the year (sunlight wise), which to an eternal pessimist means: It’s all down hill from here. Or as folks in Game of Thrones would say, Winter is coming.
So I’ve watched every episode of Game of Thrones. When does it get good? No, really. It’s not bad. I wasn’t forced to watch three seasons (10 episodes per season… screw you and your crap HBO. How about 26 episodes per season the way the real networks do it. Jerks). It wasn’t bad. It’s just that so many people told me it was the greatest thing ever. I guess it just didn’t come close to living up to the hype. There are some characters that I really like (forgive me for not trying to spell first names) the dwarf Lannister (sp?) brother is the best part of the whole show. He’s smart, manipulative, and damn funny. I thought they under used him in season three. Hopefully that changes. Same thing with the younger of the Stark daughters. I expect her to be running things when the story ends, but she was sort of boring in season three. She did end with a bang though.
All in all, the show is okay. I’m not in a hurry for the next season to start, as I am with The Walking Dead, but it’s just sort of… okay. Why then did I start listening to the book on tape of the first book? Why? I know it’s just okay. Why? Urgh.
Happy Summer.
Go Bruins.
