Perfection

Summer is pretty darn-near over. And we all know how I feel about that...

It was a good one, a fine summer here at the ol' Price house.

This video...this little 34-second video of my youngest and his friends at Gratisfest...chokes me up every time.

It symbolizes so much of the summer of '09. The making of new friends, which is tremendously painful for freaks like me. Laughing hysterically with old friends. Walking hand-in-hand with someone you love...

Just being alive. Being comfortable in your own skin and enjoying the moment, however long it lasts, for all that it is.

Very sweet! What's Gratisfest? And you're no freakier than the rest of us.

Gratisfest is an outdoor music festival that our friends, the Strasser's, put on. It is in Cross Plains, IN way out in Amish Country. There are live bands and camping, fishing and swimming in the pond, vendors and pub...and just lots of free, outdoor, unscheduled time.

And every year, I go, even though I am so not a camper...and every year, I am so sad when it is over.
