FATHER'S DAY ... FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!

Father's Day


Father's Day


Father’s Day is a day for dads to take in a few moments and actually breathe. Spending the day with the kids or the whole family is traditional, with special days for the more adventurous. I found kids at the Murrysville Carnival and also on the back of Harleys going by. There were streams, rivers, and parks filled with revelers of all sorts and sizes. While not as big or as popular as Mother’s Day, it was a busy day here in Western Pennsylvania. The kites, footballs and baseballs taking flight this afternoon were evidentiary proof of such. Those who are a dad, Happy Father’s Day! To those with a dad, give the old guy and hug and a kiss…

This is the first day of the, “100 Days Of Summer,” and it all starts now. Summer is more than just a set of dates, so much more. This transient place we call life is but a whisper amongst the sounds of time, a minuscule stop in the motion of all. Some go about blindly and miss it all, whilst others see, and these “Boys of Summer” bask in its 100 days of gifts; beaches and bikinis; roads and motorcycles; music and ears; romance and girls, and no school for the young.

It looks like Summer is going to be one to remember, as summer activities are cheap or free, at least the best ones are. This is the remedy the Doctor ordered for bad economic beaten hearts and minds. Dress code is sandals and shorts. This is summer, I hope you all keep your head down and return to enjoy all summer has to offer this year. I will keep you informed on what can, and what can not.

Sports Update:

Penguin fever has not slowed at all so far! The four months between the Steelers Superbowl victory and now the Stanley Cup has the blood of tenacious Pittsburgh fans still pumping as if it were just yesterday!!!

The Pirates are still hanging in there with hope for better days.
