" No video games or electronics; give me a net a pond and an imagination "

It has been an interesting summer thus far; not what I had expected, but then again expectations are so over-rated; give me 90 secs - 

Marissa lives with me (good thing) misses all of her friends (bad thing); I was bitten by a recluse spider and am on antibiotics, got treatment right away so I am a head of the game (my leg was on fire).

Had an outstanding week of stay-cation with my sisters nieces and nephews (plenty of beach and play time); at best I've been bumped to the recreational B team and have only been paddling / sailing sporadically, no challenges on the horizon. Bye Bye Michigan Challenge and MR 340.

Summerfest is in full swing, have not been there in 12 years so had to go, it was a great time people watching, took the fam, outstanding. It's a wonder our society functions at all, craziness, everywhere.

Fire ban has been taken to the extreme in Lake Mills, no grilling, no smoking in public areas, times are desperate with no rain, we are smack dab in the middle of the 2012 bake. Lake has recessed 5 feet from the shoreline, down at  least a foot.

My Aunt Sue 80 years young (lives with me when not traveling the world) is off to Wyoming to count track monitor wolves in Western Yellowstone for 6 weeks. Get your wolf count on Aunt Suzy, woo hoo.

Emily has moved into her own place with a few friends; very nice older home close to UW Milwaukee, MATC, (hint hint).

Parades festivals, good friends fill the hazy daze of summer... life is good.  More summer to come...

Back to the grind tomorrow -
