Boys of Summer

"Summers Fly, Winters Walk"
That was a title of one of the many Peanuts books that I used to read as a kid, and a line that has stuck with me throughout the years. I believe that Linus told that to Charlie Brown after lamenting the inevitable back to school drudgery.
That quote seems to be in the front of my brain right now after thinking about where this summer has sprinted away to. Sure, we are currently enjoying/enduring record heat here in Cincy, where we are threatening the all-time record of 17 consecutive days of high temps over the 90-degree mark.
After spending virtually the entire month of June in West Michigan and many of the following days in July in gyms reffing, it's hard to think about the onrushing school year starting without getting back home for 9 at the Creeks or a G&L special.
Days like today make me think about all those Pubfish Thursday nites over the past few summers. At the time, they seemed as if every summer would be spent golfing, playing softball, drinking, and being with friends. Now, those nights seem to be long, long gone, especially living away from home.
Here's hoping that the RAFFLE draft will be a great one and everyone appreciates what they have while thinking about the times I've had with the people reading this during many of the summers which have flown by our eyes.
