So It is finally summer-ish type weather here in the Boston area. The weeks of rain have finally given way to just several days of consecutive rain interspersed with absolutely beautiful summer days. So it has come time to come up with some summer plans — What should I do with all the time that I now have available ( I’ve quite my part time job )? I have a few ideas that I’d like to act on.

1. I really want to learn to go sailing. Now that I’ve learned how to swim reasonably well I want to go and finally hit the old charles river.
2. I want to get a bike and go riding. There are a lot of trails and quite backroads in northern Mass. and New Hampshire that I’d like to explore.
3. I’d like to play more raquet sports. I have both a tennis racquet ( which I’ve never used and that upsets me) and a racquetball racquet (which has gone underused these past few months).
4. I want to take in all the sights and sounds of Boston at night. In the 4 years (nearly 5) that I’ve been in the area I haven’t fully taken advantage of all the resources that are offered by the City. There are movies down by the waterfront, and the museums, and jazz shows at Ryles and Scullers. There are many many other events that I have yet to even discover their existence of.
5. I want to visit New York. I’ve driven through New York an innumerable number of times, but I have yet to actually visit the city. I’m planning on taking a weekend and just going down there this summer.

I hope for this summer to be one of my best. And I’m always looking for activity partners so hit me up if you want to do something. I’ll almost always be down.

“Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
