The last Monday in August of ‘22. Labor Day weekend is upon us and the feeling of getting your money’s worth looms.
Did I get my money’s worth this summer?
I bought a pool pass during Memorial Day weekend, but we didn’t go as often as we thought we would in May.
I did the math and I broke even. The silver lining was the rules were changed after a large group of Chicago kids stormed the pool in June. You can only have a pool pass to enter, no day passes! So we got our money’s worth.
We got the beach in, a museum in, numerous trips to Polar Bear in, Bluesfest in, Sox game in, the zoo in and ate a ton of pizza and pancakes. We got our money’s worth.
It was typical baseball in Chicagoland. Below 500 and no chance for post season baseball. Well, a slim chance on the Southside.
As the days get shorter and the leaves loose their color I’ll look back at the Summer of ‘22 as the “Summer of Dad.”
I was a dad for 75 days straight and it felt good.
Enjoy the hot weather this week and the last Sunsets around 7:30 at night…
