Summer Starts When?

That same trip to Borders I was looking at an audio book version of Stephen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time. I was wondering if it was read by some famous actor or would it be that computer voice the whole way through - thus proving his assertion that time does indeed lengthen. Next to the audio books were the journals. Leafing through the journals were two young ladies (I'd guess late teens or very early twenties); one young lady turned to the other and said,

"I want to keep a journal this summer; I think it is going to be a significant one. But you know what? I don't know when summer starts."

Her friend seemed lost for an answer and I caught the eye of the original speaker.

"Summer will start the day you start your journal then." I offered.

The young lady just smiled. It was a smile that said.

"What?"



Oh well.
