Dog days of summer.

It’s been a quiet summer up here in New Hampshire. Haven’t really taken a lot of time off, and there have been no huge life-altering occurrences in my life. That’s good – as we age, there seems to be more sadness and wistfulness than other emotions, and we haven’t had to deal with that this summer.

It’s very hot, and very dry. My lawn is pretty much dead, as is the neighbors’ lawns. We’ve all given up on lawns this year – no one’s watering the lawns (the cost of water is crazy), and no one is mowing much, either. The only growth has been some crab grass, and we’re letting that grow. Let’s enjoy what’s left of summer, and hope the end of hurricane season is quiet this year.

There’s a lot of great songs on today’s podcast, with tunes by Jerry Butler, the Beatles, Small Faces, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Dinosaur Jr., Wild Beasts, Haley Bonar, Savages, Charlie Rich, the Monkees, Mike Nesmith, O.V. Wright, Lou Reed, And David Bowie.
