Cat Days of Summer

Who ever coined the term "dog days of summer" anyway? With one month left of summer, Bryan and I are keeping busy with work and play. While we both agree there may be more entertainment options in Prescott, Flagstaff beats all for keeping things simple.

Flagstaff reminds us that we don't have to always see the latest movie at the theatres, or even dine at a different restaurant every Friday night (three cheers for El Capitan). Flagstaff lets us walk to a slower and more peaceful pace of life. Nothing beats staying up all night under the glittering sea of stars with friends at a star-party, or any other "s" party for that matter.

And if anything is better than living in Flagstaff, it's living in a studio apartment in Flagstaff. Having all the material possessions one could ever want denies us true happiness, because nothing challenges creativity and being at peace with one's lifestyle like not posessing everything. How's that for a tounge twister?

As summer comes to a close a new school year is fast approaching. Students are moving back to Flagstaff, and I'm excited for a change of pace. The cooler weather means more knitting, and hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures of knitting projects soon. I will soon be buying my blood pressure cuff and stethoscope to finish up my final year as an exercise science major. Prochnow movies will be playing at NAU again, and we will be having the annual Jaws night at the pool in September. Ahh... life in the pines.
