like a flash in the pan

Summertime is nearing it's end. All in all I would have to say the Summer of 2011 was purdy durn fantastic.

• Hung out with friends I made last summer
• Made new friends and hung out with them
• Discovered the Highland Park Pool

• Ate grilled peaches, & some other fancy things my bro-in-law whipped up

• Went to a movie in the park

• Enjoyed Porch Time (a lovely reminder of my youthful summers in the south)
• Hosted family friends, and robins

five of 'em squished in there

last baby out, mom & pop were keeping an eye on him

• Went to a baseball game

• volunteered here, and there,
  
• and of course enjoyed an occasional Pittsburgh classic - Rita's Ice

But now... now I think that I am mostly ready for fall and all the fun that comes with that.

same but diff'rnt

I recently started a new job; but it's back in the same building on the same floor as the very first job I had here in Pittsburgh. In a way it feels like the last year, professionally, almost didn't exist; which is nice, because the last year, professionally, was not easy.

Looking forward to this "fresh" start and seeing where it goes.
