Endless Summers

It is widely known I HATE cold!

 

There’s an old wives' tale that you love the weather you are born into.

 

I was born in July so it makes perfect since I LOVE summer.

 

Old wives and their tails begin to break down afterwards though.

 

Sarah was born in May so you figure she’d love hotter weather but ... to quote John Belushi ... “NOOOOO!” ... she prefers colder stuff.

 

Same with Maddie who was born in September. It’s still hot then but the child begs for air conditioning ... begging for blanket and hot chocolate.

 

Laurel was born in April and is therefore a bit schizophrenic about weather! She loves dressing winter clothes during the summer and goes near naked in the winter.

 

Same with Cassidy who was born during November ... the child believes in dressing for style and doesn’t give a damn about weather consequences ... fur boots in August are fine!

 

Jeremy keeps this train going because, though he was born in July like his Old Man, he prefers cooler temps which makes no sense.

 

Kristen, born in April, loves summer weather just like me.

 

Chelsea who was born on Summer Solstice definitely higher temperatures and little lattitudes.

 

In our house, the girls can’t wait for winter, layers of clothing, ice skating and the dispictable thing Satan ever created ... SNOW.

 

“Cold as Hell,” is said for a reason ... it’s the Devil’s work!

 

“But Mike,” some say, “you love College Football which is played on cool, crisp days!”

 

True ... though I think the entire season should be in September with games played every other night.

 

Regardless, the girls are excited and it’s hard to not enjoy their anticipation though I prefer endless summers.

 

You have to make compromises in life and love ... some are harder than others ... so I take solace in the fact that soon ... TOO DAMN SOON ... we'll all be snuggling under a blanket together ... drinking something HOT ... dreaming of summer.
