Summertime Blues

There is a cure for summertime blues!

I heard this song in the car yesterday on my way home from practicing yoga on the rooftop at Capital Fitness:

I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler

About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar

Every time I call my baby, and try to get a date

My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money,

If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"

Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick

"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a late"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Well I called my congressman and he said quote:

"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

And I gotta say, I beg to differ. The photos don't fully capture it, but the views were amazing -- Lake Monona in one direction, Lake Mendota in the another, and the Capitol in another. The weather was absolutely perfect for practicing outside, too.

Far from having the summertime blues, I am loving this summer. I've always wanted to be able to be home with my kids in the summer, and this summer, I have mostly been able to be, and I'm grateful!
