Tomorrow often signals to many the end of the summer even though the solstice come a few weeks later. Sitting outside with Shelly before we dined on our deck, she noted how she how Monday would normally mean the end of a summer break many – students and most who work in city schools – enjoy; she also volunteered how that no longer applies to her (Perhaps a topic for a future blog.). With the impact of COVID putting a kibosh on many in-person business gatherings, and other meetings as well, the only real change my occur for me when the weather really turns.

When I remain able to work (in my) outside (office) and, with no real expectation to meet much in person, I experience no real sense of change. Gotham Networking, which hosts this blog on its website, already made clear its meetings will remain virtual. My civic meets this week via video. Last week I sent the newsletter for FDR Lodge Knights of Pythias lodge to our printer (Gotham member Scott Levine’s Minuteman Bellerose); I could not share any in-person meetings and both meetings this month get held via videoconference. My community board meeting in two weeks also continues in virtual mode. Ditto for the board of director meeting I chair for SNAP, a senior services agency and center (By the way, virtual classes remain very popular with our seniors.).

The interesting question remains: when will things no longer feel like summer. Not even thinking about an Indian Summer (but it is a great song!).

I close with a link to the song that gives this blog its title.
