he corner and saw this on the beer shelf. While I have been accused many times of needing to turn in my "man card," I really don't like a lot of fruit-based beers, but the Summer Shandy is the best. Not a shameless plug for the beer because I honestly don't think the taste is amazing, but the flavor is so crisp that it makes you just relax and think of summer... And with summer, comes the new mindset. Does the world seem happier in summer? Maybe just in the Midwest, but it's like there are two different lifestyles between the warm and cold seasons. The allergies are starting to calm down a bit, and I can be outside in 85-degree heat for 10 minutes without breaking into a sweat. My golf game is starting to round back into shape, and it seems like every week is full of an opportunity to play in a league or any fun outing that allows you to get your picture taken on a Harley.

This weekend marks the 28th anniversary of my wonderful wife's birth. What's the old expression about marrying young to keep your youthful spirit alive? I've got my spring-chicken bride covered by a solid six months, so it's about time she reached the ripe-old age of 28. We are so excited not just to reach another year in good health (knocking on wood as I type), but after almost five years of marriage, we are actually venturing out into the world for our very first family vacation. Of course, what family of 2 1/2 wouldn't be co
mplete without some friends, so we'll have Kyle and soon-to-be Mrs. Kyle join us. Grace gets to come too and stay in a cottage back in the woods. When she heard there was a lake there, she immediately got dressed up in her boating gear and polished her goggles. Tennis balls and lake water are the summer cocktail of choice for our dog, and we can't wait to wear her out.Enjoy the summer, and hopefully the bliss of our summer mindset will lead to a surge in posts on this running journal of our lives.
