summer


This year’s model

I was going to start putting together my warm-weather playlist, but I guess I jumped the gun. Today’s colder and dreary weather has me feeling glum. It’s certainly not the kind of weather that calls for open car windows and rocking tunes.


As if I wasn’t already pathetic enough...

I don’t know if you’ve been following how big a summer this will be for me and my movie-watching nerd-ness, so I’ll just mention that you can do a search for Indiana Jones on this site and come across countless blog posts about how the next installment comes out this summer and how I’m ridiculously excited for it.

Well, toss in another Batman sequel and a few other comic book movies, and my summer movie slate is already brimming with geek-tastic moments. To make matters worse, I have recently found out that the next “X-Files” movie will make its debut in July.


Counting down the months

It’s almost March, and you know what that means, don’t you? Of course! We’re almost into one of my favorite parts of the year – the unabbreviated months.

From a newspaper standpoint, there are a few months out of the year that are never abbreviated, no matter what the context. Those months start in March and run through July, and thus make up some of the best months out of any year.


Surprise! Summer’s over!

Holy cow! It’s August already?!?! What happened to my summer?


It’s never too early

Forget all this baseball garbage. It’s almost time for it to be close to being a month away from the start of the next National Football League season! Hooray!


Heading out on Sand Creek

It's summertime in the Jordan area. One of the best things to do, I'm told, is take a tube ride down (up?) Sand Creek.


City hires seasonal workers

Jordan hired Nathaniel Aldrich to conduct park maintenance during the upcoming summer months.


Council passes permits for summer events

Permits for three summer events received go-aheads from the Jordan City Council tonight.


Fair-weather workers

Just the other day I noticed that the center lines along Second Street (Highway 282) in Jordan had been repainted.


Softball leagues heat up this week

Two slow-pitch softball teams with a Jordan connection kick off their seasons this week.
