Summertime

It's getting warmer out, not quite hot yet. It's rained off and on lately. The grass is growing faster than usual. And things are supposed to slow down ... but they never do! Summer is a time to read some books you've been buying all winter and hope to read. Summer is a time to learn a new skill or refine an old one. Summer is a time for reflection and introspection.

What am I talking about? I thought I said summer was supposed to be fun!

The new Kenny Chesney song, "Summertime," really captures the spirit of summer. It came out last November and the first time I heard that song, I predicted it would be a hit "next May." It was. If you haven't heard the tune, check it out. I've posted the beginning verse below:

Summertime

Summertime is finally here
That old ball park man is back in gear
Out on 49, man I can see the lights
School's out the nights roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
You can't help but smile.
