HALFWAY THROUGH.....

After what turned out to be a gorgeous Fourth of July weekend, we find ourselves halfway through the summer. Where has the time gone? I know for us New Yorkers, we were robbed of a lot of our summer due to the massive amounts of rain we received in June. With that in mind, it was no wonder that the city was so empty this weekend. It seems that everyone JUMPED at the chance to get out of the city and enjoy the beautiful weather, seeing that we've had so few of them of late.

Yours truly found himself working both Friday and Saturday, so I didn't really have much to show for the holiday weekend. As quiet as it was over the weekend, I still found it to be enjoyable. It brought me back to the old summer nights at Third and Long when the staff would sit outside the bar on our barstools and take in the foot traffic that would walk by. We'd talk about the events of the day, check out the tourists and try to guess where they were from; It was relaxing and fun, but then again, it was a different time back then, even if it was only 10-15 years ago. One thing's for sure: we are definitely in a different mindset these days.

Now that we're at the halfway point of the summer season, here's hoping we'll get some cooperation from Mother Nature and make up for was was basically a waste of a month of June. Keep your fingers crossed!
