I had a great summer, probably the best one I've had in a long time. And I did hike, and walk, and ride my bike, but I also binge-watched ALOT of TV. The Sopranos (never got to watch it when it was on because I never had HBO), Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things, the new Veronica Mars. . .right now I am watching Game of Thrones and of course I am watching BH 90210, 90210 IS the series that inspired my very first blog series: Archetypes of Teen Soap Opera.
I didn't spend my entire summer with my eyes glazed over though. As I wrote in my last post, we did our annual trip to DelMarVa, including the ALA conference in Washington DC for me.
We saw some concerts: Natalie MacMaster in the park in Portsmouth, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones in Hampton. In a couple weeks we're going to see Blue Oyster Cult.
We also traveled to NY to see our families. While we were in Rochester, we decided to spend a day exploring Buffalo since we never really had before. It was fun. We went to the Anchor Bar, the original home of Buffalo wings.
We also checked off a few Atlas Obscura sites, including:
The worst thing that happened this summer was losing both of our bunnies, on the same day; we were all pretty upset for a few days. But the best thing that happened this summer was this:
We adopted a dog! Her name is Elza, and she is an 8 year old black lab-pitbull mix.
School started a couple weeks ago, which for teacher signifies the real end of summer. And now that there's a chill in the air, and the sun is coming up a little later, I know that fall is definitely at the door.
I have some thoughts about the new school year, but I'll save those for my next post.
