summer!!!

today!
that's right.
today is the day, neighbors.
the first day, even.
and as a mater of fact,
it's the big day in a couple of different ways.
the soulful solstice introduces the official heavenly season.
that's one good thing about this saturday.
my good friends dan and kaye are getting hitched later on, too.
that's the big action for this summer afternoon.
i'll be there, too.
(i'm invited, relax)
way down in sunny, sexy, rural durham, connecticut.
yeah.
in fact,
i'm headed out in a little minute,
to be sure to be on time for gettin' all witnessy
to the great big huge romantic promises when they get underway.
oh, yeah, and i'll be back in the woodsly goodness by breakfast tomorrow.
that's a thing.
it's a roundhouse roundtrip kick to the heartstrings, kids.
and i'm gonna activate all the automotive motivation i can muster,
because they did it for me,
and i always pay back the love and respect i get.
yeah.
***********
the thing is,
summer calls for summery new hottness,
even if it's been baked,
simmered,
cooled down,
and set up for success in succession.
i mean it.
check the sexy-citrus-solstice-type teleport:

wordimus prime.
that's no joke.
coconut creme key lime pie,
loaded with zest, and an overdose of tangy juice.
it's sharp, y'all.
puckery and piquant,
but with that smooth coconut milkiness to mellow it out.
plus a crushed cashew and pulverized coconut crust?
and key lime frosting?
as well as zest on zest on zest?
not to mention coconut shaving sprankles??
you know it, guys.
this mutha-'ucker is just so expert.
it's summer, after all.
c'mon.
don't be dumb.

so...
i'm going to connecticut,
but i'm only gonna see some of my peoples.
awwwwww, man.
no... wait.
it's fine.
i'm going back again on monday night.
huh?
yes.
that means i'm driving to or from the watersauced nancypantsery doo-doo
of the bottom of the barrel of new england three days in a row.
yep.
hard styles don't stop for summer, friends.
that's real life unfolding in front of your F*ing face, for sure.
*
weddings.
celebrating for the benefit of everybody else.
i can appreciate surrounding yourself with the ones you want to know,
and wrapping yourselves in well-wishes,
and emanating outwards with the effusive happiness
that heats up and heads out of holding  hands and making promises.
i get it.
i just don't get it.
or i haven't gotten it, anyway-
at least, not yet.
get it?
you got it.
i think i'm getting much much closer though.
it's very trying, all the trying,
but it's a damned bit better than waiting,
and it's way flippin' better than quitting.
i'm on my way south,
to allow myself to feel inspired by a couple of kids who've gotten it right.
it's all really happening,
and really,
that's the whole point;
never quiet, never soft.....
