My Ode To Summer Time in the Town (PT. 1 I'm sure)

Ok judging by the fact that it's 2:38 am and I'm up, life is about to get a whole lot interesting. I'm calling this "My Ode To Summer Time in the Town", because as much as I hate Seattle at times Summer is, has been and always will be the best time of the year in the Town. Everyone is on vacation and home from school. Now that most of us are done with school, it is more than just summer, it's time for reunions and brinin the good times back. We can't stay young forever, but at least summer time in the Town lets us recount years gone by, friends past and present and relationships that once were that now either make us rant or laugh. It's about the sun bouncing off Lakes Washington and Union and the Puget Sound, as well as the beautiful and majestic Mt. Rainier. It's about "hood heros" comin back if only for short stints to let the "hood" know they haven't been forgotten. It's about forgetting the cold fall and winter months, if only for a short time to remember just how good the warm sun feels on the skin. For me though Summer Time in the Town is about reliving yesteryears and being thankful (and at times not so thankful) to have lived the life I've lived. It's only June 5 and summer has not "officially" begun, but in accordance to the texts, phone calls and pictures from the last 2 weeks...it has for me. So here's to Summer 09 in the Town...already shapping up to be better than 08 and hot damn...I'm single this year!
