Goodbye summer, I see you have left our windy city for good. You brought us together in friendship, in celebration, and in song. Minds melded and melted and mended, bodies were whisked away by your warm summer breeze, displaced, redirected, recharged, and made to feel fine. All these things must continue without you, through the cool chill of fall and the harsh winter bummer, til spring rolls around and we meet again at last.
