Summer

Even though I live in a place that is perpetually summer all year long, I wait all year for summer to happen.  This year, however, is different for a number of reasons.  1)  I am turning 30 in June and am dreading the passing of my 20's.  2)  I don't have any travel plans this summer.  3)  Now that I am getting older, I can't stand the heat!!!  It's only 90 something degrees today, but I don't want to do anything!  I don't have AC in my house, but we did get the attic insulated so its slightly  less warm in the house than it is outside.

With the realization that summer is, for all intents and purposes, here, I am dragging my feet, indeed, even longing for winter again.  I have no idea why.  I think it has to do with turning 30, because normally I can't wait to go to the beach and party.  And suddenly, the realization strikes me.  There is no party at the beach anymore, because alcohol has been BANNED!  I am so not happy with all those little early-20's punks who caused a riot in PB last year and led us all to be denied the fun of drinking beer in the sun and surfing drunk.  Which makes me feel old, because I am no longer an early-20's punk.  I'm really not a 20's anything.  Oh, life!
