The first day of summer, 2017: Perfectly cromulent

Today is officially the first day of summer and it defied expectations, given the weather we’ve seen so far this year. Rather than raining brimstone and fire or perhaps just letting loose with another monsoon, the day instead was a bit breezy but pleasant, with clear skies, sun and temperatures hovering just under 20ºC–right around seasonal.

It was kind of weird.

I took advantage by actually going for a walk at lunch. I admit I have a motive other than enjoying the nice weather, and that is a renewed effort to get the rest of the flab off me.

On that note, I make a solemn vow now: No more Goldfish crackers. These are like year-round shortbread for me. They are small and tasty and so it’s easy to eat five or ten or 5,000 of them before you know it.

No more.

Begone, Goldfish! You will be a lightly-salted memory from now on. As soon as I finish this bag, that is.

There’s no need to be wasteful, after all.

But anyway, the first day of summer was pretty nice.
