We were in New York for the past few days, and there was an ongoing freeform summer solstice music festival around 165th St. area. Lots of families and salsa, rock, folk... Very nice.
there is something about blowing out of school on the last day...jumping in the car..windows down..sun roof open...zooming down the highway way over the speed limit....with the mountains in your rearview mirror..and the beach ahead of you...
with Kenny Chesneys "Summertime"....and Sly Stones "Hot Fun in the Summer Time"...and Janis Joplins "Summertime"..all at full volume...that is just magical!!!...and exhilarating...maybe because there is only one day out of the year you can do that and feel that freedom ...
Apparently I should be listening to If I Only Had A Brain from the Wizard of Oz soundtrack.
I was planning to blow off the day and buy a new car today. However, smack in the middle of today's calendar I have a meeting with a top-5 client. Hmm. I thought that was tomorrow. Car shopping can wait....
