Bring on the sun...

Perpetual clouds have covered the land and sucked any hope out of pretty much all of us in the Lower Mainland. This has, without a doubt, been the worst year for weather since we traded the Edmonton blue skies for this nonsense in late 2005.

Don't get me wrong. I love that the summers usually end up beautiful. I love the mountains. I love that I can play outdoor soccer year round.

But the clouds can just die for all I care.

I'm sure that would wreck something though.

So thankful for the arrival of sunshine and warmth yesterday. It is actually starting to feel like summer. Although my mind is telling me I should be on a beach...

Here's what I'm looking forward to this summer:

• Manchester United in Seattle in July. I get giddy just thinking of it.
• Date night with my beautiful wife to see Owl City and Mat Kearney.
• Friends & family visiting. I'm not even sure when they are all coming, but the pool and the BBQ will be ready at all times.
  
• Going to Toronto for my friend (and former intern) Ryan's wedding in August.
  
• Slowing down...fewer nights out. More time at home.
  

Why do I have the feeling this will all be over way too quickly?
