The great outdoors

The summer season has officially started and we have been taking full advantage. Nights out on the back porch with friends, family, and neighbors ... dinner on the beach ... bike rides on the Green Bay Trail ... afternoons at the Skokie pool ... long runs with my sister B. We've kept our weekends pretty open and the weather has been really nice, so we've been able to pack a lot in without feeling like we're too busy. I could get used to another 2 months of this!

Look at that bad aunt drinking a beer while holding her nephew

The blog has kind of fallen by the wayside. Even during the week, there's always something I'd rather be doing. Like tonight, my mom, Molly, and I all went to see Vance Kelly & The Backstreet Blues Band at a park in Evanston and then I came home and watched clips of Hamilton on YouTube. Important stuff. Jason and I are working our way through The Wire (I'm obsessed) ... I'm still slogging through Moby Dick with a group from the library ... and I have big plans to learn alterations, bridge, golf, and travelers French from my mom this summer (haven't started learning anything yet, but I WILL).

My posts will probably be pretty sporadic over the next couple of months. If anything big happens, I'll put it out there, but if Stuff I Like goes silent for a few weeks, just assume I'm out enjoying the great outdoors :)
