Well Fall is quickly approaching which gives one pause to consider summer, but we are attempting to delay fall as long as possible! Getting away for labor day weekend, one of the last attempts before the craziness of the school year starts with my job. Nearing the cusp of fall this summer has been great. We saw tons of great bands, visit friends old and new, and just enjoy each others company. I find it hard to pick one event as the end all of the summer, be it 3 hour walks at the beach in Maine, finding out our friend sally is having twins, the 12 hour road trip or seeing my always favorite Kirsten Hersh and the great Matisyahu.  What I think personally I will remember about this summer is being able to spend quality time with Kathy. Taking a lot of fridays off, it was nice to just have lots of weekend to spend with my wife. One does ever appreciate the time one can spend with someone you truly care about. It makes you realize just how great some people in your life are and how some surprise you daily in just how amazing they are.
