I love that Colin watched every season of Seinfeld! I just rewatched the epidode in which Elaine and her boyfriend (Jake Jarmel) broke up because he didn’t use an exclamation point when taking a message! 🤣🤣🤣

I too moved to California over 35 years ago, from the muggy, air conditioned Midwest. Summers in LA thoroughly confused me, June gloom thoroughly depressed me. Until one summer I just embraced the cool air and welcomed foggy mornings. I now own this weather and my summer trips to the Midwest remain “magic”, as you so well say here!

I think Gretchen Rubin calls that reframing. Good work!

Great article! As a forever Minnesota girl who grew up near a lake, I can relate to all but the Lobster sweater. Did just see them at my Target last week, lol! As always, thanks for the laughs💕

We just vacationed in Boston two weeks ago, and now I want a lobster sweater. You don't see a lot of those in South Dakota!

Honestly, check Target! My Target had a rack full.

There’s nothing like reading a good book outdoors while trying to ignore the pool of boob sweat accumulation and swatting away mosquitoes. That’s the Summer vibes here in Michigan. Peak 80’s summer memory was similar but throw in a lot of “Sun in” turning my hair orange 🤣🙈
