Billy Chapel is a Detroit Tiger baseball legend, in love with Jane Aubrey, a journalist who going to work in London.The movie is called For the Love of the Game.
The day they meet on the side of the highway Jane says something that stops Billy in his tracks. She says,
“I just have to get out of town, because the summer’s almost over and I missed it and I work all the time and it makes me feel old.”
Today I wrote “August 1″ and I realized the summer’s almost over and I’ve almost missed it. I haven’t had a summer adventure, yet. It reminds me of something my friend Coach Ginny wrote a few years and sends to all her clients every May. She says the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day flies by so before the summer gets here, sit down and pretend you’re in your fourth grade classroom and your teacher asked you to write, everyone’s favorite essay: “How I Spent My Summer Vacation.” What do you want it to say?
Sound silly? It kinda is, but also very productive to write down and imagine yourself doing all the things you want to do. To be like a kid, and fill it with all the things you want to brag about having done this summer; then to realize you are a grown up, and have the power to really make it all come true! Print it out, post it to your refrigerator, and live by it all summer.
It may feel like the summer’s over but there’s still time. You have five weekends, 30 days and lots of sunshine. Make a list and spend some time having fun!
How are you going to spend your summer vacation?

That’s a great idea. Sumer’s fly by much too fast. Setting a to do list is a great way to keep ideas in the front of your mind, and also to remember good times of things that you have already done!
