A new milepost

Well, we've completed our organizaiton's summer series of free outdoor concerts and inexpensive movies for kids and families. I have popped one barge load of popcorn, even stressed the popper enough that we had to arrange for electrical repairs after last night. And now we seem to have finally gotten some weather that we can live with. Wow.

Juliette Lewis comes to town to rock the Don Gibson tomorrow night. That should cause a few graves to shift in Sunset Cemetery. I'm hoping that there's not an abrupt shut-off in fun at the end of the concert. As I said to one local leadership type the other day: We need some anarchy and spontaneity for a change. It's a healthy part of a good mix behind a successful community.

Month's end, another big round to go

Yes, we finally outlived July and the record breaking heat. Given the misery it caused, I think we all behaved fairly well and didn't let the stress break down our social skills . I am coming to realize that my seasonal affect disorder (SAD) may be at its worst in Dog Days. There are 11 more days left to wallow in the discomfort of the ancient astrological cycle. Hopefully the end of Dog Days will bring rain and moderate temperatures so we can get down to working on group projects without worrying that our colleagues are going to die on us.

Much to be done! Head 'em up, move em out!
