The dog days of summer

Well it is over, the dog days of summer, anyways. you know i never completely knew what that meant. i mean the dog days of summer, is my dog hot, am i panting like a dog because it's so hot. what gives? well, low and behold, it has a ancient roman meaning behind it. So during the period of July 3-August 11, is officially the period of the"Dog days of Summer". When the "dog start" Sirius rises with the sun, they believed that the combination of the luminary of the day and the brightest star at nite, would cause the hottest and muggiest days of the year. Well, it does make sense, because they are usually the hottest days of the year and with the sun shinging in the day and the brightest star of the nite shining. So there you go folks, the officially meaning of the dog days of summer. No i can get on with what i came here for.
i will be in Iowa in like 2 days, and thank god i choose it to be after the dog days of summer. yea yea yea!!! so i hope to see everyone soon!!! To spend lots of time laughing and hugging and a few drinks in between, after, before, whatever. i am particularly happy i get to be there before t.d. leaves, that way we can get our picture taken together, and it be a time when all of "us" can be together. so positive on that one. so see you in 2 days. later!
