This weather we’re having is a glimpse of heaven in August, which is usually a month best spent indoors, grumbling about humidity and the cost of gas to the beach. Since we’ve been granted a temporary reprieve from both annoying August bugs — and it feels like early fall — what to do? What’s on your list before summer is truly over?

Ride a bike. Float down a river. Take the rocking chair out onto the front porch (take along this month’s Six for Sixty, Chair Wines). Run through the sprinkler. Fish. Borrow a convertible. Eat raspberries. Handpick tomatoes at the farmer’s market. Go to Carl’s. Nap on a hammock. Hold hands. Wander down William Street.

Stop by the wine bar.

The father of Not Larry Sabato was attacked by a dog in Fredericksburg yesterday. Fortunately, it looks like he’s gonna be alright after he spends a few days in the hospital.
Ben twittered that “the owner of the dog saw it attack- and just said sorry and left him there bleeding.”

I’ve always felt strongly the NFL is America’s best sports league, so I’m happy to have a whole bunch of Skins games to shoot this year. We’ll be doing slideshows from games with a snazzy template and big pictures. Here’s the first one.
