It's Good Enough For Me...

Summer means midweek night games in the city, and a rolling odometer. It means a slowly diminishing bank account, and an adjustment to easy, empty days. Summer means dinner in no particular place, at no particular time, decided upon at the last minute. It means box scores and games of catch...with the gloves, or the sticks. Summer means ice cold bottles of pop and too much sugar. It means untended gardens and lawn mowers that need tuning. It means music drifting through the air from distant parks, and the sound of freighter horns from the lake. Summer means finding fitness hidden behind busy days. It means impromptu visits with friends and bicycle rides...it means boats. It means long road trips and late nights followed by lazy mornings. It means freedom and rest and adventure...but my favorite is midweek night games in the city, and the look in their eyes when they see the carousel. It's not baseball but it's summer, and that's good enough for me.
