A thought just occurred to me: I only have one month of summer left. I leave for AU exactly one month from today, which means I'll be flying straight into the middle of winter. I think it's time to put together a "Summer Checklist."

• Get a tiger's blood sno cone
• Get a wedding cake sno cone
• Go to a Rangers game
• Spend a day at the pool
• Have a cookout (may be combined with the previous to-do)
• Go to a drive-in movie
• Go longboarding with my siblings
• Watch fireworks on the 4th of July

Here's to you, Summer!
