Adios Summer

So its official. I guess it's been for a while really, but I don't pay attention. We all know summer is gone. It's time for the leaves to start changing. Turning bright hues of orange, red, and yellow. Screaming with color before finally shriveling up and falling to the ground.

Yes, this even happens in LA.

And as you could I guess, due to the lack of writing, it was frisbee night. Hot, humid, wet, muddy frisbee. Needless to say, I'm a mess. But, I think I've come up with a new solution to make sure you will have writing on Tuesdays, regardless if I play or not. If it works, it'll be glorious (for you). I'll try to kick it into effect next week.

But, I got sidetracked. So, summer. Yeah, it's gone. It's sad. Especially this summer. I have to say, this was one of the best summers I can remember in my lifetimes. I got to experience so many new things, go places I've never been before, and just finally got to do some of the things I've only dreamed of. It's a shame to see it go, but also, I'm excited for what the rest of this year holds. If everything works out - it'll go out in a bang.

So when I saw this video today, I couldn't help but realize I needed to share it with you. Sure, kids are pretty shotty actors, but let's be honest, they're damn cute, so that makes up for it. This piece instantly brought me back to my childhood. Ok, ok, you caught me. I didn't smash watermelons with a stick ball bat, but I sure as hell used the slip n' slide every chance I could. Man, I loved that thing. Sliding down, off the end, into the grass. The smell of the plastic. The spritz of the hose. It was heaven.

I hope it is as nostalgic for you as it was for me.
