Happy June 1, 2026.

While the Summer Solstice is three weeks away (June 21, 4:54am), Since childhood, i’ve always celebrated Summer’s arrival on June 1st.

Why?

Summer is my favorite season because i love warmth.

Love to sweat.

Love to not have to wear a shirt to stay warm. In fact, the opposite, remove your t-shirt to stay cooler. Or jump in a pond, creek, or lake.

Laidback Summer

Resting patiently while four new tires are installed on a 20-year old car. With an online appointment and a confirmation phone call initiated from the shop a day later, it still took 2.5 hours. Laidback means not getting excited about things that seem over-promised and under-delivered. Life is good. #PrayForUkraine

Laidback Summer.

After two years of Covid, heavy down-turn in business, and consistent anxiety about a microscopic health threat – not to mention WW3 – if this is my last Summer, may it be one that has never been experienced before.

Ok, sounds like a plan.

Note: You know why? To stay on track for no regrets.

It’s obvious that i do not need to attribute myself as “dad”. But to keep with the Summer 2020 Glacier quote theme, i’m sticking to it.

The wonderful thing about being a writer on personal blogs is that you can write whatever you want.

Why?

This is freedom.

To be yourself and freely express what you believe and why – this is a joy money can’t buy.

See what just happened?

Attribution.

None needed because i wrote this whole thing. You can quote me on that. ☺️ 🎉 😂

Live for today, plan for the future

i do not regret visiting Glacier National park five times this (2018) Summer.

And even though my “life contract” expires June 8, 2019, i am celebrating by planning to spend Summer 2019 at Glacier.

Three different people.

Three different hopes and dreams.

What’s the common thread in every Family?

Praying we figure it out. Every last one of us.
