Tonight the sunset across Chicagoland is at 8:00pm. We will have sunsets after eight until August 9th. A sunset after eight at night means we are in the brightest days of the year.
It means, put the Vicks Vapor Rub in the drawer and put the GoldBond out on the shelf. It means, the wonderful sundress with no underwear will start appearing.
Until I had Hazel I loved Sundress Season. Oh the beauty of ThighGapHenge. If you catch the sunlight just right… you can see the shadows of paradise.
Better yet…. Naïve tourists or Downers Grove girls walking around downtown. If a gust of wind caught that sundress just right, you could get a quick glance directly at paradise.
I learned most tourists wear undies, most girls from the Western suburbs have interesting tattoos.
Then I was given the gift of Hazel and the sundress lost it’s appeal. All those lovely sundresses were worn by someone else’s daughter.
I could no longer look for thigh gap shadows. I could no longer gawk at the flap of a skirt sailing high with the wind.
Remember the Chalkboard from a few weeks ago when I talked about my tree? The tree in the middle of a field?
Sometimes Julia Roberts is wearing a yellow sundress as she walks through the tall grass.
Shit…. In a few years that could be Angela Lansbury. This getting older in life has happened so quickly.
Just yesterday I hurried home after school to watch Cindy Brady. The other day I thought Mrs. Howell was looking sexy.….
….she just happened to be wearing a sundress on that deserted island.
Alright, alright I can’t get worked up right now about Sundress Season. We set our clocks back in 178 days and the sunset will be at 4:22pm for four weeks straight.
Boner kill!
Not to many sundresses around the OakBrook Terrace Board of Trade building. A ton of dad bodies and those poor bastards became second fiddle when this dad body started working out there.
Sundresses and Dad Bodies! I think I found my theme for the Summer of 2023. Last summer was Great Gatsby Summer.
This summer…. Sundresses and JumboLove….
…and Hazel saying, “Dad? What are you looking at?”
Actually it won’t surprise me if she says, “Dad, take a picture! It will last longer!”
You better bet Hazel will know how to hold a skirt down on windy days. She will also learn to walk with a chastity belt.
Go do what Thursday is meant for…. Preparation for the weekend! Thirsty Thursday…. Seems like yesterday Thursday was “Seinfeld” night.
Lots of “seems like yesterday” going on here…. Get out of your own way and enjoy May22th, 2023. It’s the only one you got…..
