1 Same crickets.2 Sweet weather.
3 There are times when everything is just somethin' so right!
4 Last night was that, indeed.
5 My favorite thing was that the crickets have set their sound design to perfect.
6 I'm so used to the artificial thing.
7 I'm again out in the garden, which I spent another three hours perfecting, and the crickets TOTALLY got it.
8 They understated, which has always been my idea, at least in my imbecilic mind.
9 If you throw TOO many crickets out there, then people worry that they may be in their pants.
10 No such thing.
11 We had about two or three that wanted simply to sing.
12 Ah, make your music, dudes. It's like a summer cartoon.
13 AnywayZ...
14 The Giants' game is on somewhere, a perfect harmonious convergence with the crickets.
15 Ah, all is still well...
16 Honestly?
17 It matters a little to me if the Giants win, but really, just having a ball game droning in the warm summer night simply works, regardless of all the rest.
18 Dude, I'm carrying summer as long as summer will carry me.
19 Just a lovely time of year, isn't it?
20 I got more done on the garden, but then, I get something done every single day to make that garden pleasant.
21 Pleasant, not perfect.
22 Still, this year it all came together, so it's as close to perfect as one could get.
23 Like, yeah.
24 Sweet nights.
25 Lovin' it, each and every night.
26 Last night I had two green apples all day.
27 I was sweetly committed to losing weight and loookin' good!
28 Actually, I no longer wish to look good. I've said it time and time again.
29 I'm happy just to avoid looking bad.
30 Either way, it's a beautiful night, all around!
31 Moving on, Part the First: I finally collected the first two assignments yesterday. Suddenly, I have a ream of paper to read. We have that many more students in each class this year.
32 I'm dying to read them, but having to finish the yard has taken precedent.
33 I'm also already worried that we are almost into the third of our first six weeks, which means I will be buried in papers within a week.
34 Doesn't take long.
35 Moving on, Part the Second: I noticed the on opening week that YB still hadn't gotten an Activities Director. Was I tempted to go over there and do that?
36 Nope. Maybe for an eightieth of a second, but nope.
37 Been building a garden with midsummer crickets.
38 I also enjoy teaching freshmen. They're still a little bewildered and wide-eyed. I used to think the best gig was sophomores or seniors, but really, the freshmen at the Chill tend to be really fun and intelligent.
39 Plus thirty-nine of them can fit in one classroom.
40 So yeah, right now life's pretty good. Tomorrow I get to do nothing, just like Friday. These guys have to haul themselves down to our gorgeous Theatre and listen to an hour lecture on school safety.
41 Might be a good time for me to grade some papers.
42 Ah, it's so nice to see a DN where nothing really exciting has happened.
43 It's like sitting around on a summer night sipping an cold lemonade.
44 It just sorta happens as time passes.
45 Wake me up when September ends, willya?
