Seasonal Recall

Today looks like it has been carved out of delicate but vivid crystal. It is perfect and clear. Blue skies above; shine and green below.
The last day of Summer.
I feel almost giddy at the sadness of the season’s passing.

Some things:

Me, on the Appalachian Trail - May 29, 2004

I went there and back again and wore a hat. Along the way, I lost my Internet connection…then found it again.
I saw fireworks and Socko on the Fourth of July. Resolved to spend more time in the outside air. (And kept to that, pretty much.) I had a very cool night in Pittsburgh with Kelli (and Guster, Ben and Rufus). Then grooved on some High Speed Chocolate.

John, Kelli and Alex at Hershey Park, PA - July 17, 2004

I took more than Four Pictures of Clouds (and tried to see a meteor shower, to no avail). Later, I cobbled together the fifth version of The Allurium — just for the heck of it. Then I slowly dried-out, after the waters rose.
And now…now it is almost Autumn. Summer is down to hours.
But she was sweet, sad, memorable and fun.
Here’s to her return.
And to Autumn’s gold.

    What was the Socko thing? I don’t remember that…looks disturbing, though.

    Yeap, that was Socko. I blame Alex. ;-) We were playing “Truth or Dare” and he dared you to put one of his socks in your mouth. Thank goodness for cameraphones, eh?
