Handsome Stan kicking back in the American River.
My summer goal this year is to hike Half Dome.
To me summer means beaches, outdoor concerts, vacations, bikinis, barbecues, baseball, cartwheels, rafting, hiking, margaritas, piggybacks, fireworks, romance, strawberries, picnics and camping. This topic doesn’t require a long write up. I mean, you get it, right?
On your mark. Get set. Wait for it….
Go!

What's that lovely tune?
Ah yes, Mr. Ice Cream Truck
Out of my way kid!
LA summertime
Feels like the apocalypse
Until about 6
Know what makes me sad?
Seeing a "Back to School" sign
Why not just punch me?
The Cure captured it,
"But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold"
There's always that day
When the sunlight just seems 'off'
Yep, summer is gone
Best day of the year?
"No more teachers no more books"
The last day of school
Summer memories
JPX swims in our pool
Tiny bathing suit
No, seriously
Euro-style bikini brief
Unforgettable
Running through hot sand
Jumping into the ocean
Now that's just sweet bliss
Combing the sand dunes
Patiently looking for them
Topless sunbathers
Rocky Point boat trip
Awesome piled on awesome
Just unbeatable
Might have been same day
Watched fireworks from same boat
I miss that damn boat
Friend's mom sold the boat
To pay for a new kitchen
I died on that day
Firework explodes late
Comes back down, blows over lake
Huge pink reflection
Poverty summer.
Furlough days begin next week.
Hope we can still eat.
The beach is still free,
If you want to risk illness
From germy runoff.
Hotter than Hades,
Full of poisonous spiders,
The Valley traps us.
Too poor to escape,
We may have to skip the Cape.
I despise my life.
But you're in L.A.
Movie stars and Disneyland
It can't be that bad!
beach days in childhood
up early to "beat traffic"
i call that bullshit
Barrington Beach fright
Traumatic swimming lessons
Lots of jellyfish
My weird phobia
Standing while I'm in the sea
Too many crab bites
I hold the record
Most somersaults in Cross pool
My only success
Summer busiest
Time for my job, but can't work.
Stupid budget cuts.
Won award at work
Can't go to ceremony
Can't afford to go.
Prize was do more work
Presentation plus pay gas.
Nein danke, losers.
How I hate my job.
Nothing will be good until
I can leave this place.
Julie needs a drink
While floating around a pool
I'll have one for you
Well that just tears it
Thought this topic would be fun
Now I’m just depressed
Went to Block Island
Spent the day in the ocean
We floated like corks
I love the Drive-In
Watch movies with privacy
Yes I watch the film!
Poison ivy sucks
Dad, "leaves of three, leave them be"
I didn't listen
Rocky Point - closed down
Westport Waterslide - vanished
Summer fun - now lost
Dr. Julie Doom
Summer of our discontent
(wailing, gnashing teeth)
Chicago winters
And Valley Village summers
the same: stay inside.
You could die walking
To the post office or bank.
You must only drive.
Power out one week
Jeff slept out on the front porch
No breeze, stifling hot.
Somehow we rallied
And made Zack one evening
That's what I call hot.
Summer we huddle
Round the air conditioner
Outdoors post sundown.
Summer transforms us
Into vampires; the sun burns.
We must avoid it.
Movie watchin' days.
That's what I call summertime.
Cold, cold theaters.
I got the best job
still get my summer vaca
I feel like a kid
best part of it is
my kids work all summer long
I've become the kid
What I did today
Ate cakes & chowder, beach walked
and slept in, jealous?
What I'll do Thursday
whatever I damn well please
yawn, I love my life
Summer memories
family trips in a hot car
we were the Griswolds
Bike to the Y pool
Munching down Twookies all day
Five cents is your change
Grade school crush was there
Couldn't talk to her at all
Hid under towel
The Sweatpants Estate
Badminton, croquet, canoe
Should've charged for it
Brickyard Pond campout
Makeshift tents on the island
Back home for cheez whiz
I'm going to try
To have some fun this summer.
The Getty is free.
summer's concert time
i don't do swell vacations
blow my cash on shows
summer reunions
the generations collide
campfires and sunburns
i don't like the heat
hope radical climate change
holds off til i'm dead
i so envy cat
the concept of "summers off"
i need career change
ymca camp
year 1, the scary stories
sent me home in tears
ymca camp
year 2, swimming in the rain
parents made me stay
Y sleepaway camp
learned to sail, since forgotten
sunburn of lifetime
then came alton jones
year 1, vegetarian
that'll teach the 'rents
good ol' alton jones
year 2, my very first kiss
there was no year 3
Brickyard Pond camping
Octo slept outside the 'tent'
Woke covered in dew
Summer seems endless
But when you reach adulthood
Goes by in a snap
I hate when people
Play football near my blanket
"Bud, a little help?"
Inevitably
Ball or Frisbee will hit me
I just can't relax
Maybe tomorrow
I'll go out for breakfast then
read under shade tree
Nothing much to do
By August I may be bored
yeah, I don't think so
I'm right with AC
summer concerts are the best
love those outdoor shows
Hours in the pool.
The blissful days of summer
at 10 Plymouth Drive.
I long for those days.
When summer-time meant freedom,
and not endless work.
Summer for desrocs
equals crazy work hours,
little time for fun.
That and worrying
about childcare. Dad was
right, "Be a teahcer!"
All that being said,
summer is my favorite
season of all time.
I prefer the heat.
'Cause jumping in the ocean
will never get old.
Summers on the Block.
Those memories rule! From what
I can remember.
Wake up hungover,
work for eight hours, then crash
on the nearest beach.
Made lots of money.
Then blew it all on liquor.
Best summers evah!
Best reason of all:
That's where desroc and I met.
Say it with me, Awwwwwwwwww.
Boogie board First Beach
You do not scare me, Red Tide
Fun shower later
Come to Scah-borough
Rhode Island's doofus magnet
Dumbasses crowd in
Horseneck & 'Gansett
Slightly more elite beaches
Less Irocs in lot
LA summertime
That's when all the fires happen
Brilliant pink sunsets
Shitty I-10 jam
Oh, sweet delicious AC
Always there for me
(Wait. You understand,
I meant air conditioning
Not Powerpuff chick)
Odwalla summer
Strawberry Lemonade time
Best part about June
