Making the Most of the Last Days of Summer

If you haven’t had time to see this summer’s latest blockbuster disaster film, don’t worry. It’s coming to a neighborhood near you real soon.  It wasn’t enough that we weathered the UNNATURAL disasters like the debt crisis fiasco and the Standard & Poors downgrade creating a stock market plunge that smeared poop all over our retirement dreams, AGAIN!

But guess what, there’s a new game in town called NATURAL disasters. It premiered this week with Earthquake Tuesdays available in the DC and the surrounding areas followed by that irascible, uninvited houseguest Irene threatening to ruin everyone’s weekend and wreak havoc all up and down the northeast coast. What a beeach!

All I can say is God must be on another vacation, like the one he was on when the tornadoes ripped up the south and the floods raged in the Midwest earlier this year.

You can’t blame God for wanting to eke out a few last vacation days before school starts and we all know how sketchy cell phone service is on the beach. I bet his i-Everythings have stopped working and he has no idea what the devil is going on. I bet he’ll be more than a little embarrassed when he returns.

Remember when earthquakes and hurricanes were cutesy names for drinks we ordered in bars? AHHH, those were the days.
