Are we still defined by that gradeschool essay question, "what did you do last summer"? I think this as I run around the park and overhear snippets of, "we're going camping next week and we just got back from Paris" or when I think of my friends spending a week in Yosemite, then off to Puerto Vallarta. Or my friends that'll spend the summer in their backyard pool or out on the lake in their boat.
How am I going to spend my summer? Smoky bars listening to music that adds another "what?" into all my conversations as my ears give up the fight? Inhaling 100 year old dust as I tear down that dumb ceiling I should have torn down last summer? What do I want my essay to be like in the fall?
And you? What are you doing this summer?
