Memorial Memories

So Monday was Memorial Day, the unofficial beginning of summer. The official beginning of summer isn't for another month. Father Time has taken the habit of running late in his old age. Or Memorial Day rudely arrives to the party super early. However you want to look at it.

Anyway, since we talked a lot about stories this week (the story's coming, the story's here, here's a completely different and unwanted story), we decided we'd let you all have a turn. And we're gonna have a Memorial Day theme.

Tell us a story about summers.

That's it. Just tell us a story about summers: last summer, this upcoming summer, summers of yore, summers of my, whatever summer you want. Here's ours:

Once upon a time there was a man. And he was cool. And he hosted a television show with Gak. Then he went to the Food Network. He's significantly less cool now.

Yes, that story was about Mark Summers. Yes, that has nothing to do with Memorial Day, as it turns out. But that's not the point. The point? Tell us a story. In the comments of course.
