Summer’s over but…

‘Round these parts today’s the last day of “summer vacation,” a quaint 20th-century phrase describing the months plowing the corn fields or whatever we did before smartphones.

There’s another quaint phrase from one of this century’s great philosophers, Craig Williams. You know him as Craig… of the Creek.

Craig once opined that Summer’s over but we still have the weekend.

Wise words. Actually we have weekends, holidays, and every single evening. Heck, school can be fun sometimes too.

Every time you get home from being out of town you think How can I make my regular life more like vacation?

Exactly.

This is the year we never turn off the fun of summer.

To borrow another 20th-century phrase…

this is the Endless Summer.
