As Summer Comes to a Close..



It seems to be getting a little chillier every morning, which only means one thing: summer is drawing to a close. What a great summer it's been. Here are some reflections/thoughts from summer in no particular order:
  1. People are generally in much better moods in the summer.
  2. There will never be a better song about the summer months than Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
  3. It's always tough to say goodbye to good friends - especially the ones that you've been through enough with to know that they are indeed good friends.
  4. UDF is a saving grace for some many that call Oxford home.
  5. Baseball is still the greatest game in the world, even if the only playoffs that the Red Sox will be a part of will be in Madden '07.
  6. Skyline Chili is still beloved by Cincinnatians, but hated by those outside the Greater Cincinnati area, including me.
  7. I can't think of a single greater invention/innovation in the last 10 years that brings people (especially men) together in a more meaningful way than Fantasy Football. Strategy, sports, trash talk, competition, glory... beautiful.
  8. It's time we quit ignorning the correlation between gas prices and summertime. I know the laws of supply and demand. If more people drive in the summer (which they do) demand goes up. Does that mean there is a shortage of supply? Can anyone explain this? Anyone who thinks oil companies aren't laughing all the way to the bank are asleep at the wheel (no pun intended).
  9. Having someone to share your life with makes everyday better.
  10. Life never works out the way you planned it, but it always works out for the better.
