I'm one of those people that loves the four seasons.  I guess that's why I have made Binghamton my home for all my life.  Everyone has a favorite season.  When I was in college it was winter because I played a lot of winter sports like down hill and cross- country skiing.  I loved everything about winter and would get bummed when the seasons changed.

The older I have gotten, spring and summer topped my list.  I just love being outside and I'm one of those weird people you know that loved the hot humid weather.  "Bring it on" is something I would say to my friends. I love every thing about it and I'm getting bummed when I see the last day of August arrive.  Yesterday I was at K-Mart and saw they had their Halloween candy and costumes out.  I guess that's not as bad as my friend in Nashville who posted a picture of Christmas items for sale in a Music City gift shop.

All I'm saying is, please give us a break.  I understand kids are going back to school and the parks are closing earlier, but there's still a lot of summer left.  According to my calendar, the autumn equinox doesn't come until September 22nd.

Is there a petition I can start to extend summer?  There!  I've gotten it off my chest.  I feel better.  Now, are you ready to enjoy the rest of summer?
