| Cave Night at Dodger Stadium: M2, M1, M3, and The Hare |
|
Summer is here! Yes, it's hard to believe, but it's about half over. How do we know? Because MLB's midsummer All-Star game is only 2 days away. The Boys of Summer will be displaying their talents in Kansas City this year and summer will quickly disappear in the rear view mirror of some interstate shortly thereafter. But, not yet! That's why I love summer. There is so much going on and so much to look forward to for the rest of the year! For an eternal optimist, things just can't get any better. Here's my Top 15 list of lofty midsummer dreams, expectations and realities:
1. Sitting in the ball park of my favorite team, gobbling down
Dodger Dogs, hoping they will make it to the World Series; if not there is always next year. But, do you know what? It really doesn't matter in the eternal scheme of things, because there is nothing better than hanging out at Chavez Ravine with family and best friends in the summertime!

2. I am already starting to think about my upcoming NFL Fantasy
Football draft. Maybe Fred Carpenter won’t win again this year. Adrian Peterson
got arrested last night so, will you still draft him? Does Peyton have anything
left?

| What in the crap was I thinking? |
3. Summertime means NBA free agent time! The Lakers have landed free agent point guard extraordinaire Steve Nash from Phoenix. Yes, the Lakers will be on top with Nash, even without Dwight
Howard. (I don't want to hear about Le Bron or the Thunder)
 |
| Wow! |
4. The BYU Cougars are going to go undefeated
and win the National Championship in football!
5. Last month's Olympic Trials were a mere delicious pre-dinner appetizer
for the upcoming 2012 London games. Dang it, I just love the Olympics!!! Go Team USA!
6. Summer movie block busters. Hoping for
another joyful sleeper like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter or another deep,
thoughtful thriller like Prometheus. Bring on the Batman!
7. You gotta love those midsummer cable shows: The Closer,
Longmire, and Breaking Bad.

9. You love driving to work in the morning because there is
no traffic, but in the back your mind you dread the coming of August because with it returns the gridlock.
10. You are reinvigorated either because you just got back
from a great summer vacation with the fam, or the anticipation of your upcoming
trip cannot be contained!
11. You are looking good with that deep tan from spending
time at the beach, on the mountain, on the lake, at the theme park, or at the ball park! (Tanned fat is
more attractive than albino fat!)
13. The summer heat has made me crazy because I have tickets for the Fiesta Days Rodeo in a few weeks after vowing last year to never attend again. What is wrong with me?
14. You are asking yourself: “Do I want Obama-care? If not, maybe
Mitt is the guy..
15. Weather girl Jackie Johnson's on vacation, but it's OK because Evelyn's her backup
