Summers Over, Blah.

The summers previous to this one have seemed like they went by at a fairly decent pace, and I feel like I had time to enjoy them. Not this summer. This one flew by so fast to the point where I feel like I should break out my sweaters, coats and boots. I don’t like that feeling one bit, but such is life when you’re living in the midwest.
All in all, the summer was good though. I had a very nice balance of my work, in not having too much or too little, so that was good. I definitely got out much more too, and I’m very satisfied with the amount of golf that I played this year. I said at the beginning of summer that I wanted to play more golf, and I did just that. I also drifted into the summer playing flag football, so that was another good opportunity to be outside enjoying the weather, even if it did leave me worn out, tired, and laying on the couch the rest of the day. It was all worth it.
At least I love the fall, not only because the weather is excellent (not too hot, definitely not cold), but I like fall fashion, as well as football which I’ve been dying to watch. I can’t take anymore baseball, though the Olympics was a great two weeks of every sport damn near possible. I highly enjoyed that. Football is where it’s at though. I’m sure it will be an emotional roller coaster of good and bad games, more than likely all chronicled via my twitter (the more or less, real-time me). But there are many great Saturdays to be had sitting on the couch, all day, watching football, and of course the highlights.
There is also the new season of Entourage starting shortly, and to say I’m hella excited would be an understatement. That is one of the best shows of the past few years in my opinion, and based on the previews, this new season is going to be very hot. And of course Mad Men continues on with a great season 2.
So I’m looking forward to having a great fall, and hopefully I write here before I check it for the official winter announcement. I’m now going to go find something football related on tv. Clearly the fall is not the season for major productivity.
