so long, farewell

Summer is leaving. The sun is setting earlier. The pine needles are starting to fall. And I finally had to close the windows tonight and pull the jacket out for school tomorrow. This is always a bittersweet time of year. I know I'll still wear shorts for several more weeks, but it's no longer a given. I will have to check the weather forecast first. *sigh* Goodbye summer. I'll miss you.

football is everywhere

Saw this on an endcap at Publix last weekend. Printed fun Pop-Tarts sound cool, but I'm not sure college mascots are really playing to your target market. Unless the Pop-Tart target market is college kids. Hmm... Well I guess maybe that does work.

In other news, Tim scored us tickets to the Rays' first-ever ALCS game. They'll play the BoSox Friday night at the Trop. Our tickets are perfect: in right field next to the Rays' largest heckling crowd. Should make for an entertaining evening. Go Rays!!

Oh yeah, and we still don't have air conditioning. It's been 7 school days. The A/C crews have promised to get things running countless times. We've had fits and starts of A/C here and there, but they never last. There are 12 classroom affected. Parents and labor union have been called in to help. Let's hope one or the other works soon.
