Scenes of summer

Here we are in mid August, wondering where the time has gone. It's been an eventful few months, which is our excuse for why summer has seemed like such a blur to us.

Some highlights in no particular order:

The One of a Kind Drumline plays before the year's first Uptown Movie Nights screening in July.

Here, Movie Nights gets started with the original "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." That's Willy on the left in the red shirt. I'd forgotten how trippy parts of that movie are.

Here's one more, from the final movie we screened, "Flash Gordon." The 1980 version, complete with one sweet Queen soundtrack.

Earlier in the summer, Amy changed jobs. Here she is the last time at Around the Table, after we picked up the last of her stuff.

Good experience, bittersweet how it went. Sad it didn't go as expected, but glad it gave Amy a good entry to the foodie biz, which she was able to use to get her new job.

Speaking of new jobs, they don't call the bureau I now work in the Duck Pond for nothing.

Meanwhile, Wiley's still ruling the roost, as always.
