Summer
So.
Today marks the official, astronomical beginning of summer (here in the only hemisphere that matters), as opposed to the marketing beginning of summer, which appears to be sometime in February.
Just watch - they'll be advertising for Christmas next month. Guaranteed.
Today is also Father's Day (appropriately enough), which makes this comic all the more amusing:

Being childfree, there's no special day for me. You got your Mother's Day, Father's Day, even Grandparent's Day. I suppose Boss's Day could work, but I don't technically have employees these days (damn the economy anyway), so that's right out.
On the other hand, I can celebrate being childfree every single day, especially when I see how other peoples' kids behave. So I guess I have it good. As I like to tell people, I have 0 children and wouldn't trade them for the world.
Hell, my wife and I even went out for brunch this morning - and didn't have to bring any kids.
Yep. I'm just glad it's summer. I hope I don't sleep through this one like I've done the past few summers. My back doesn't hurt, I'm getting stronger, and I'm ready to rock. Bring on the beach!
Oh, wait, I'm not doing that until September. D'oh. |
