The kids are heading back to school tomorrow. It’s amazing how fast the summer has gone. We’ve been to the beach a few times, went to a Hindu wedding, hosted a killer Fourth of July party, did work on the house, installed a pond in the back yard and stocked it with fish. All in all, except for way too much rain and a neighbor whose car stereo is loud enough to shake the house, and often does, the summer’s been pretty darned good.
