Summer of Jeff!

So, Tuesday was the first day of summer...
The Summer of 2011 is officially declared the Summer of Jeff Leardini!

1.  The Yankees are only a game out of 1st place despite having almost everyone either on the disabled list or "taking a day off" because apparently baseball players can't play two games in a row anymore without requiring a break.
2.  We are about to get brand new tile in our sunroom!  This will put an end to the dreadfull lineolium that we had on our first floor.  We still have it upstairs in our laundry room and guest bathroom, but hardly anyone goes in there, so it's not nearly as bad.  At least on the main floor of the house the entire flooring situation looks respectable.
3.  According to the Farmer's Almanac (Are those things really accurate?), the months of July and August are supposed to be cooler than normal by 2-3 degrees on average in our area.  We'll see if this comes true, but it seems like a step in the right direction.
4.  If the NFL plays this year, which it looks like we should be getting to an agreement any day now, then I'll be working NFL games as in-bowl Customer Relations!  Yahoo!  Now, if I could only convince someone that they need me to work this position for the Super Bowl, then I'm all set!
5.  Visiting with the family!  We're going to get together and have a vacation.  I only get to see my parents a couple of times a year, so it'll be nice to have this happen in the summer where we don't have to stay inside or risk freezing to death!
6.  Sammie!  How could the perfect summer not include the perfect dog!  She's the best, except for when she wants to give out the "Good Morning Licks" at 6 in the morning.
