Goodbye Summer
(The Acorn – Do You Not Yearn At All)

Oh my god we’re having a fire.....sale. Oh the burning, it burns me. Evacuate all the school children!.
...

A breeze blew into my room the other day and along with it the smell of familiarity…I think it was skunk. It reminded me of those summer nights as a teenager/college student when I used to drive around aimlessly after breaking up with a girl. I guess you could say that break-ups stink. Long aimless drives are great for clearing out your head though. However, now with gas prices so high, it might actually be cheaper for people to just get professional counselling.

Hmm...have you ever started a topic of conversation with a digression? I think I just did. I think the breeze reminded me both of stinky break-ups and the fact that colder weather was around the corner.

Summer officially ended on Wednesday and it’s a bit sad to think about but there’s a lot to look forward to in autumn. It’s a beautiful season. The trees are just starting to lose their green. I’m hoping I lose some of the colour on my arms and legs too. This summer I got the worst Cambodian tan ever.

I’ve already booked my first snowboarding trip for the middle of December. About 20-30 of us are headed to Quebec to snowboard down the slopes of Mont Tremblant.

The salmon are starting to make their yearly spawning runs up the Credit River and soon I’ll be wading through there trying to catch a few of them on an early weekend morning. There’s something amazing about watching salmon make their last run up a river to pass on their genes before they die. Referring to the quote on my last blog entry, it would probably suck terribly if they prematurely blew their wads on a dry run before they reached their spawning grounds. Nature is beautiful isn’t it? Everyone freely blowing their wads.

In the middle of October, we’re headed to a cottage where a friend of mine will announce that he is now engaged. That’s engagement #2 this year and I’m hoping it’s the last. I’m not sure I can handle much more pressure on the engagement front.

Lastly, with the end of the summer, hopefully we’ll have an end to the tropical storms that are wreaking havoc all across the world.

Have a safe weekend everyone.
