Cool Summer Nights

You know, when it’s not ridiculously humid it’s pretty damn nice outside at night in PA. Here I sit on my friend’s deck with the smell of grilled chicken lingering, crickets chirping, lightning bugs flashing, and stars in the sky. Yes, I’m far enough out that’s it’s nice and dark and you can actually see the stars. Not tiny glimmers in between city lights, but bright beautiful stars. Look, straight ahead, it’s the Big Dipper.

The brightest light out here right now is the computer. I’m sure a moth or two will join me soon. The dog is hanging out at my feet. Once again I get the urge to go camping. This weather is the best to camp in - warm enough during the day and cool enough at night – perfect for a campfire.

My house in Phoenix is quiet, but this quiet is different. Here you can relax and think. Ponder life, either yours or the lightning bug’s. Once in a great while you hear a car from Rt. 23 or an airplane on the way to Philadelphia.

I really should get some sleep so I can get up and workout before it gets hot. It’s just too darn nice out. Ooop, there’s a bug, not a moth, but some other bug who likes my light. Guess I’ll ponder what I want to do when I grow up……….
