Every year at the end of summer I start kicking myself for pissing away my summer by getting caught up at work and not doing enough summery stuff. This year was on track for ing the same as usual, but that’s turned around now and the next month and a half are looking real good. We kicked it off this weekend by having Bird come over with a bag of 40 crabs that we ate until we couldn’t eat any more. From there we headed down to Delaware to hit the go-kart track where I’m starting to feel like a regular. Three races there, and every muscle in your body is hurting for days.

This was all good, but what’s getting our summer in gear is that we started house-sitting our home away from home. Nothing like coming home from work to a pool and a hot tub in the woods. We’re there for two weeks, and then the next day move on to watching another house, which also has a pool. We leave from there to spend 10 days on the beach in Florida, and come back for few more days of pool sitting.

Then, we head up to Hampton, NH, surf a quickie and head straight to Beaver Island to see DaBica get married. This will probably be only a slightly mellower version of the chaos that was our marketing retreat with JDK which was already a scary six years ago. From there we head straight to a four-bedroom beach house we’ve rented in Jersey for two weeks because it was such a steal. I’m going to commute to work from there for a week, and then blow off a week of work. There’s penty of room, so get down here. Things are looking really good right now, all we need is a few small storms.
