Ah, summer comes to an end.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been living in San Diego for the last five years and to be honest, it\u2019s always been summer to me. Natives and long time residents of San Diego can tell the differences between seasons but I\u2019m only vaguely aware of them. As a consequence, all the months and years I\u2019ve live in San Diego have blurred together. There\u2019s only an endless \u201cnow.\u201d<\/p>\n
While today\u2019s show is a celebration of the passing of the summer it\u2019s more of a salute to my summers in Boston, where the days are hot, humid and lazy and the nights are sultry. I wouldn\u2019t trade the weather in San Diego for anything but I do on occasion miss those New England days where the heat would bake into your bones.<\/p>\n
Another thing I do miss about living in Boston are my seasonal libations. In the fall and winter my drinks were whiskey and scotch and in the spring and summer my drinks were gin & tonic and rum & coke. As I said, it always feels like it is summer in San Diego so I have to go out of my way to drink my whiskey or scotch.<\/p>\n
That said, I raise a gin & tonic in honor of the summer of \u201906!<\/p>\n
