I figure that maybe if I make a post sending summer on its way, cool weather will get here sooner. Please? To recap a few things, this summer Rebecca got wet...
in a mikvah in Baton Rouge,
at Blue Bayou waterpark in Baton Rouge,
at a much smaller local waterpark,
bike-riding in the rain, and
washing her car. Which reminds me, I've got to get the oil changed on that thing.
This summer, Rebecca heard wunderbar... in
X-Men: First Class (Kevin Bacon's character says it near the beginning) and in Kiss Me, Kate (Mr. G was in a local production, and it's the title of a beautiful song the two main characters sing; "What a bright and shining star / Like our love is wunderbar"). Wunderbar is the German word for wonderful. I also participated in my first ficathon and officially converted to Judaism!
Summer for thee, grant I may be
When Summer days are flown!
Thy music still, when Whipporwill
And Oriole-are done!

27 DAYS LEFT until the Season 9 premiere of NCIS!
