June 21: Official Start of Summer

Not, of course, that "official" is always so important.  Other "starts of summer" that count around here include: taking your last final exam of the spring semester or Commencement or Memorial Day or the first day it's warm enough to go outside without a coat or the first sunny, warm day when I can wear sandals and sundresses.  Today, though, it's official: Summer Is Here!  ... and there was great rejoicing in the land.  Fire up the grill, make some lemonade, head to the beach, go watch a silly summer blockbuster movie, or do whatever makes you happy!
