So Long Summer
The days were longer and the nights just as hot. Summer officially ended this evening at 6:23 and as a winter baby that prefers summer to winter, I will miss it terribly.
This was the summer of Episode III and Batman Begins; the summer that Six Feet Under left us (but gave us the hot song of summer "Breathe Me" by Sia) and the summer we all wanted the dj to "Pon the Replay" by Rihanna.
It was also the hottest summer on record from some states (NY surely being one of them), but fortunately no blackouts. Sidewalk parties made a comeback and someone named Daisy Duke was wearing her short shorts again.
Sadly, it was also the summer that London had a brush with terrorism and the Gulf Coast had a brush with a devastating hurricane named Katrina, leaving much of New Orleans underwater in its wake.
History unfolded in front of our very eyes this summer as one historic supreme court justice retired, and another lost his battle with cancer, leading to the nomination of Judge John Roberts.
Just as time is fleeting, so are the lazy hazy of summer. Fall is back, bringing with it fresh episodes of fan favorite TV shows "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives". For those that wish to relive the summer movie experience, the final Star Wars movie hits DVD on November 1st and Batman Begins hits DVD even sooner on October 18th.
The holidays are just around the corner. Soon we'll all be bloated from Thanksgiving and asking Santa for a brand new ipod nano. We'll celebrate the end of one year and the start of a new one in Times Square or your version of it.
Then comes the snow and the gray days that seem to last forever.
Winter means another season of hoping the Knicks play better, discovering new and exciting restaurants and seeing less of our friends as hibernation and ultimately cabin fever sets in.
As always, I'll be ticking away the days (271 and counting) until summer returns, but this time with a little more excitement than the last. I'll anticipate the day I can go swimming again and eat barbeque in the park.
But I'm most looking forward to the next summer's big movies. When summer returns in 2006, so will Superman in a brand new movie directed by Bryan Singer! It'll be here faster than a speeding bullet.
Buy Stars Wars
Buy Batman Begins
Coming soon Superman Returns
That's So New York!

Yeah, last summer was the greatest movie summer ever. Batman Begins was fabulous and Star Wars III was marvelous. Movies, movies, everywhere. The movies recently kind of suck, though. Ah, well, there's a time to be born and a time to die. Such is with movies also, I suppose. Still, we most mourn for their death. That is...until they come out of DVD.
