Summer Day Trippin'

Summertime... and the livin's easy.  A little too easy.  I'm feeling a little confined at the moment, and in desperate need to get out and about!  The bad news: this heat wave is, well, HOT.  I don't even want to go outside and get my mail!  My favorite summertime activity is just not possible at the moment, so instead I will give you a visualization....

Picture me:  sitting in a patio chair on my deck.  Feet up.  Cool bottle of beer in my hand, condensation dripping down my arm.  Some Sublime or Jimmy Buffet or CAKE or other low-key summertime music playing from the kitchen.  Grill lightly smoking with juicy hamburgers cooking inside.  Cicadas singing.  Fireflies beginning to lightly dot my backyard.  Citronella candles keeping the mosquitoes away.  T-shirt and shorts on.  Flip flops resting on the ground next to me.  Cornhole and redneck golf games  awaiting on the lawn.  Laughing, talking, singing, eating, drinking and game playing with friends all night long.

Sigh.  Summertime, before you go away, please cool off and bring my friends back to town so I can make this happen!  I'm cravin' an Augustfest with my Colorado buddies!
