I'm back from the beach, feeling rejuvenated and ready to get back on it. There are many things that need to be done, and it's time to get back into the thick of it. Not everyone can pull a Bush and take five weeks off for the summer.

I was out in Fire Island at a nice house in Kismet. (here) My rigorous routine included sleeping late, swimming in the ocean, tanning and reading. Oh yeah, there was eating, drinking and gameplay as well. My skin's a little darker and the hairs are a little blonder. No complaints here.

I suppose that we are getting to the end of summer now. I frown to think about the upcoming season. I love fall, but right now I'd like summer to hang around a bit longer. You don't have to think about as many serious things when it's above 85 degrees.

Fortunately, it's still hot today so I don't have to think too hard. Phew.
