Ah, Summer. Poets wax philosophical about thee. Children long for thee. Lawns turn brown in thee. I capitalize thee. Facebook blows up with graduation and prom pictures upon the arrival of thee. And now, I shall stop calling thee “thee.” Last June, when I was just a baby blogger, I wrote a post for Catonsville […]
