What's Up, Dickyweed?

Wow. Summer went by fast this year, eh? We spent most of our time at the pool, swimming and going down the water slides and jumping off the diving board. It was like being children again; the water was warm, the sun was out, and we were swallowing water and doing hand-stands and cannonballs and having races. It was more fun than I've had in a long time, and I'm truly going to miss it. Winter usually feels long enough without thinking about how much we miss the pool every weekend. Oh well. Next summer will be here before we know it.
Work has been hectic. Katia and I had a vacation planned to Seattle, but we had to cancel it due to a large project at work which I'm finally getting close to finishing now. A few weeks of late nights, but I've made it through and I'm not too much worse for the wear, other than the fact that I feel like I need a vacation more than ever. Hopefully we'll get to go somewhere soon.
I finished up my first Ruby on Rails project (which I will announce here soon), and I am absolutely smitten with the framework. I definitely plan to use it on the next thing I do, and hopefully get it happening at work as well.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the title of this entry is heavily inspired by the book I'm reading. If you can guess what it is, you'll win a cookie.
What did you do with your summer?

Garrett Murray, how the fudge are you? Can't wait to see your ROR project. Hope things are well in NYC. We're thinking of coming that way for a visit sometime. Send a brotha an email!

Garrett,
Looking forward to seeing the project as well... From a fellow ROR dev-head, I'm just as excited as you are ;)
Btw... Is it Honky or Motherless Brooklyn?
Garrett on 09/11/2005:
Nice call, Frank—it is indeed Motherless Brooklyn. Well done!

I also a fast summer. Funny that swimming was also one of my 'main' relaxations activities this summer.

I'm still waiting for my summer. I moved to Melbourne, Australia from London, just at the end of the English winter, just in time to hit the Australian winter. Nice.
Give me a few months and I'll have some summer stories!
