It's hard to believe we're nearly half way into summer. A good portion of the well intended herb garden we planted has succumbed to the heat, the "beach body workout plan" has fallen victim to lazy warm afternoons and copious amounts of guacamole, and the list of summertime projects (thank you notes, garage sale, call an old friend, etc.) expands by the week. Vacation is of course fun, but often leaves us needing another post-vacation recuperation for the purpose of recovering from dehydration and dreadful nights on the air mattress.
As we anticipate summer's arrival, discussion of vegetable gardens, camping trips, barbecues with old pals, and ambitious projects are regular. It is, then, a bit disappointing to realize that yet again, just like last summer, we just can't fit it all in.However, as maturity continues to influence my perspective (albeit slowly but surely), I see that enjoying summer is not about the nagging lists, big vacations, or guilt about neglected chores. It is about the little moments. The kind of moments that have nothing to do with how much money was spent, or how clean the carpet might be, or even what the evil snails may have done to the basil plants.ATWATER -- The Atwater VFW will host karaoke at 7:30 tonight at 1390 Broadway.

Death won't still the voice of Billy Mays or his mighty powers of persuasion. Viewers will continue to find the boisterous, bearded TV pitchman hawking household products for the indefinite future. And at least one of his commercials is being introduced posthumously.
