I'm reading down the list going "uh huh, yep know that, yep, yep, yep' and that makes me feels so good - that by spending a week and hearing lots of stories and the blog and really just a couple phone calls - I know all those things about your amazing summer. The one that makes me really crack up is Tobeys 19th Hole - why is that name so darn funny!? My abridged list is easy - the summer of Brooklyn! (and a juicy trip to SanDiego!!) Now bring on the soup.
