I’m a little sad to see this summer end since this was probably the best one I’ve had in decades. We had my dad’s huge 100th birthday party, Marla came to visit me in New York, we went on a family trip to Scotland to see my brother Gary’s family, I had such a fun August with the kids in Canada and I finally got a contact lens that fit my left eye. This summer was huge. But how did I do with my summer list?
1. Bake some sort of tomato pie.
Did it! Should I get a medal for hand-making the dough? Yes, yes I should.

2. Go jet skiing.
Not even kinda close to doing this one. Hopefully one day!
3. Eat at the new Superiority Burger.
Went! The veggie burger is as good as they claim, but the sides were only okay. I’d go again definitely for the burger and for the dessert.

4. Finally visit Smorgasburg.
Did not go! I went to countless other markets, but that absolutely does not count.
5. Swim at least five times.
Damnit I only went three times (so I’m taking a half point). I really wanted to get in some lane swimming, but there just wasn’t any time for it. That will be priority next summer.
So all in all, 2.5/5 - I’ll take it! For a season that I usually loathe, a passing grade is a win for me. Don’t judge my low expectations for myself, please. To see further proof that this summer was so great, I posted my favourite summer photos over here.
AUTUMN LIST COMING TOMORROW!
