In
response to last week’s question, "What does Summer feel like?", my
writing and sailing friend Rich cautioned, "After April's reaction, I
decided it was better not to see what Summer felt like."
My
cousin Sunny recalled the bright side, writing, "Oh my. It feels like
being 10 years old at camp. There’s nothing better! :-)"
My
birthday bud Jon observed, "In Washington, it feels like one big hot
steamy wet yuck!" That led to my dad's beach buddy Bob pointing out, "A need for stronger
deodorant."
My friend Richard replied, "We’re in Georgia, so I assume
that was a typographical error. I am sure you meant 'simmer'.” My friend
Tracey added, "Summer feels like Hell! Hot, sticky,
uncomfortable." To this, my Parrothead friend Sam expounded,
"In Georgia, summer has a split personality. Prior to a storm, it
has a swollen, ripe, need-an-iced-tea feel... After a storm, there is a run
through the grass, follow-the-rainbow feel."
Two
other notes: My broadcasting TV friend Bill responded to "How do you
fix stupid?" by confirming "You can't." And my
Internet-bubble friend Ed who lives in Austin wrote, "Hey, I resemble the
wild weird Austin comment.....Ed (helping to keep Austin wild, weird, and
wacky)."
Please share your
thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
What makes a hot dog All-American?
We don't stop laughing because
we get old. We get old because we stop laughing. Make it a priority to
have fun and make others laugh.

Happy Independence Day.
Say what you want about the US Congress (and if it's negative, you're
probably right), two things we can agree on is that the US Constitution is
brilliant and our protecting our democracy is of the utmost importance.
Happy 237th birthday!
