It must be something about the heat and the smell of chlorine, fresh-cut grass and honeysuckle, asphalt sizzling after late-day thunderstorms, the steam rising while everything drips around it.

Something about fall being so close, another year, another Christmas, another beginning.

Everyone can reach back to one summer and lay a finger to it, finding the exact point when everything changed. That summer was mine.”
