Monday Musing: Waning Days of Summer
08/13/23 • 13 min
In these waning days of summer, teachers prepare classrooms for the return of students and neighborhood kids play their last games. Seeing the annual rite, memories of my own care-free times bubbled to the surface. As so often happens, reality, memories, and fiction wove a story together in my mind.
As always, my musings are 100% true—except for the parts I make up. Confession. This week’s might be more made up than not.
