Are you ready for the sunshine?
Are you ready for the birds and bees,
the apple trees,
and a whole lot of fooling around
Are you ready for the summer?
Are you ready for the hot nights?
Are you ready for the fireflies,
the moonlit skies,
and a whole lot of fooling around
No more pencils, no more books
No more teachers dirty looks
No more math and history,
Summer time has set us free
Are you ready for the summer?
Are you ready for the good times?..."
The song lyrics are of course from the Bill Murray classic "Meatballs”, a summertime must-see in my house. If you haven’t seen it yet...well what are you waiting for? In addition to revisiting Camp North Star (all the gruel you can eat) and the Meatballs gang--Tripper, Rudy, Spaz, and poor Morty--among the many unforgettable cast of characters for this oldie but goodie, I also have a couple fun summer activities (a Mets/Yankee game, a Broadway show, a Jets/Giants pre-season game, and a mini-road trip) in the horizon. While they're not a trek around the globe, a Caribbean island getaway or a trip to Europe (I wish) I’m excited nonetheless. I hope each of you is blessed with a happy, healthy, safe and fun summer. Make the most of it and enjoy!
