More Reflections on My Early 1980s

The Summer of 1981 was a hit!
Tuesday was the First Day of Summer (using capital letters to give the Day the respect it deserves).

I shall forever associate summer with joy and happiness because of youthful carefree, fun times.

Baseball
Tennis
Bicycling
Swimming
Doing Nothing

No School!

In the Summer of 1981, my baseball team went 11-1 and won 1st place.  I got 10 hits in 30 at bats.

Even as a working stiff in a comfortable desk job, when I think of Summer, I think joy. 

Looking forward to a weekend of carefree and fun, if the Lord allows.

Besides, I have a love greater than baseball to spend the Summer of 2011 with:
How did I get so blessed?

Now I am measuring memories in decades, not years.  But that's OK in light of eternity.
