So, it's 4:30 on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Several coworkers have already scooted out the door to begin celebrating the official start of summer. I'm trying (and failing) to focus on my work. Instead, I keep thinking about what I want to do this weekend.

The past four years, I've gone camping with friends in Maryland. This year, I'm sticking closer to home. Probably going to a cookout and getting outside in either hike, bike or kayak form. That's my plan -- to stay out of my car as much as possible.

With gas prices a gazillion dollars a gallon and everything else just about that expensive, are you still planning to celebrate the start of summer the same way you normally do? Are you changing anything up because of the air travel/gas price/economy situation?

Post a comment and share -- or, even better -- send me a picture from whatever fun you have and I'll post it here.
