When I was a kid, summer was the time of year I most looked forward to.  Does it get any better?  No school, lots of daylight, warm weather, and little structure.  I ran around like a banshee as a young child, hung out with my friends at the beach or the mall as a tweener, and worked at the drive-in, flirted with boys, and stayed out past midnight as an older teen.  Many phone conversations started with, “I’ve got nothing to do today…wanna hang out?”  It was bliss.
