Summer! It strides into life like a beautiful woman, warm, sultry, and seductive.  Its faint perfume speeds the heart and stimulates the senses.  it undulates from hot to cold like a skirt beset by fitful breezes, until a sudden uplifting to brings a promise of things to come.

     Things gradually heat up!  Temperatures rise! The occasional thunderstorm, wanton in nature and presaged by the heady aroma of life, makes life exciting. The wet surrender of its' passing, brings a peace and tranquility that further fuels infatuation.

     It slowly becomes a hot, steamy, and sweaty affair.  The heat cannot last. It is too intense! Too personal!  Sweat runs down your back, you sense the end is near.  You enjoy the moment, unwilling to forego your infatuation. Summer reaches its climax. Lost in a summer daze, you ignore your senses and bask in its fading glow.

     But the subconscious never sleeps, it brightens at one thought.  It's that time! Time to forget all this boring summer crap and-
