With just a few more weeks before the beginning of another school year — hopefully one that’s more “normal” than what my kids have experienced in the last ~18 months — we’re kinda at that spot in summer when we know that most of the season is behind us and just a few weeks remain before rigidity returns. We all know that our leisurely mornings and afternoons will soon come to an end, and I don’t think any of us are particularly rushing these days along. 

I think this summer has felt especially refreshing, given that last year’s summer was pretty void of all our usual stuff. I’m relishing this time that much more. 

In these parts anyway — “these parts” being my computer — it has meant that I’ve been intentionally spending as little time as possible here in an effort to disconnect. It hasn’t made for much blogging material, but hey… season of life and all. I have a lot to say and share but not much patience or interest in sitting behind a computer to get it all out. Eventually. (Probably). No doubt the culmination of the Olympics and the more robust, earnest return of in-person racing will just add more to the writing topics.

I hope that wherever you are this summer, you’re getting a breath of fresh air and some r&r after the past ~18 months. It hasn’t been easy for anyone.
