The Bottom Line

 

You're probably wondering if Sam and I we able to get our traditional end of the summer ice cream. Well, we did - but a little late.

Our tradition started years ago, back when Sam was still in school. On the evening of his last day of summer vacation, I would take him out for an ice cream. Technically, calendar-wise, at least, this was not the 'real' last day of summer. Just the last day that felt like it. 

Anyway, back then, we would get the school schedule months in advance so predicting when we would be going was as simple as looking at the calendar.

Now, and in recent years, his work schedule (and the question of whether he'll be working at all), is unknown until pretty much the last minute. This year, it seemed to be more 'unknown' than usual.

But the bottom line is, we made it. We were a little late, but we made it.
