Summer is over (Tuesday Afternoon Post — never got posted)

(I wrote this post Tuesday afternoon but somehow failed to post it.)

Summer officially lasts until September 21.  But it can end a lot earlier if:

1. Someone destroys the pennant race by being too good, or
2. You’re a professor and your fall contract kicks in.

The Alleghenys wanted to adopt option 1:   end summer by leaving everyone else in the dust. Did they meet that goal?

A bunch of EFL owners had to report for the year-opening community meeting today.  I know this because Melanie dropped me off  on her way to that meeting.  I am on sabbatical this fall, so I spent the first day of the rest of my summer feeling sorry for/superior to all you GF faculty who experienced the first day of fall semester today.

I took a bid for replacing the septic tank at my Mom’s old place this morning. Then I spent the rest of the day in the quiet, beautiful woods northwest of Banks… collecting trash spread out over three acres and taking it to the dump. So only a little bit idyllic.

Now that summer’s over for half the league, lets’ see where things stand.
