Well, we waited all summer for this. And here we are, the magic of September. After months of waiting for the heat to subside, the crowds to disperse, and the lights to go off … well, it’s been hotter than hell, still a good amount of people around, and the lights won’t blink yellow until after Chowderfest. But, hey, you get the idea. No badges. The monarch butterflies arrived right on time. Surf where you want. Local summer; it’s here.

Anyway, after a busy summer like that, you get to thinking about simplifying. Maybe living with less?
