The summer of 2011 was one to remember – the weather balmy and the laughter bountiful.
As we roll into a pile of crunchy leaves and wave goodbye, we bring along a trunk of memories that we will reflect upon with a swelling sensation of pleasure.
Just in case that trunk of memories falls off the back of my car on I90/I94 and bursts open like a walnut, splattering the summer’s fondest recollections on the pavement for traffic to smear and stampede, I figured I should note a few here for safekeeping.
So here they are, my fondest memories in an Ode to Summer 2011 …
