Doin' Fine (or Doing Fine)

Categories
Lifestyle

I found myself perusing my calendar. Many a friend shared how they feel Summer’s Almost Gone.

 

Of course the preceding phrase made me think of a song from the Doors iconic third LP, Waiting for the Sun. We only are in the second weekend of July. All of August remains and two full weekends and more of the current month.

 

I recall as a youth that summer seemed a long time; not that I welcomed its end.

 

I like summer unstructured; never really liked day camp.

 

For me a big difference from past summers involves no more September primaries and the campaigns that “interfere” with the enjoyment of summertime with my wife otherwise off.

 

This summer includes some visits, including a few flights. It includes concerts of course; some set; some perhaps to get added to our “schedule” (or maybe just mine – it depends). Some get-togethers already took place; some more remain and others we hope to schedule.

 

I also find I enjoyment sitting outside all different parts of the day, including my outdoor office

 

Sometimes the best part of the summer involves nothing on the schedule and just pulling something nice during that afternoon. Just that occurred yesterday evening.

 

So share in the comments how you find your summer so far. Do you feel it’s almost over?

 

I think mine is proceeding along just fine. Doin’ Fine (or is that Doing Fine).

I don’t want to think about summer’s end. I’m hoping to do just a little bit of what I have planned which is mostly having the opportunity to relax and enjoy it

Each season brings its own joy. For me, summer always brings a dear friend who visits, being by the water, enjoying reading outside, sitting in nature,etc.

Summer means work hard (3 days a week) and play hard (4 days a week). My objective is to float in a pool as many days as possible, frequent the ferry to fire Island at least three times and currently as I’m writing I’m watching Wimbledon Men’s finals from The Springs in East Hampton. Live music abounds at every corner and summer can not last long enough for Ava and I.

way too early to be talking about Summers End
It can be hard living in the present.
Just a thought!
Enjoy the day!!!!
Ps saw yesterday - yesterday and today I am smiling thinking of the ending. Hmmm.

We're having a great summer, so far, with more fun on the way. Enjoying life is our priority.

Endless Summer out west . Beach days in February. But like Fred said . Is it dark yet ? I enjoy sitting outside and eating outside . A fire table to enjoy a meal amongst the wild life . Some Mark Knopfler. The congeniality of the forest creatures . They accept me fully now . Eating out of my hands . Baseball and Ballantine . The crack of the bat. I don’t care if I ever come back !

Summer officially ends for me on my birthday, July 28th. It seems to disappear soon after for some reason.
