It’s time for an update of the Top Ten Posts Thus Far on featherglass.
The top post of all time is the one on the Top 10 Things To Do This Summer, written about a year ago today. Summer is long and slow, a marching band playing on a pier of long days and slow nights. That this is a much-Googled topic must mean there’s a need for ideas to fill in the hours.
One summer night, spent in a place where there are four seasons, lies untouched in memory. A girl on her first trip to the US, my newlymade friend, stayed in my summer rental in a Midwestern university town in the US. That evening, we went grocery shopping at midnight at a 24-hour supermarket. We rode pillion on two motorbikes while our friends took us rolling up and down hills in the little college town, roaring past fireflies in the dark. We talked until dawn, and found ourselves ordering ham and eggs at a local diner at six a.m. One day in my life.
