Summertime in the Bible Belt undoubtedly means one thing: Vacation Bible School. As a child growing up in the 80s, VBS was synonymous with butter ring cookies and cherry Kool-Aid. I can vaguely remember wearing fancy sundresses and vying for one of three coveted spots to march in either the Bible, the Christian Flag, or the American Flag to hold during opening nightly ceremonies.

These are the times that try men's souls -- at least men who aren't obsessed with professional football.Because there is a two-week break between the conference finals and the Super Bowl, the Sports Industrial Complex runs out of interesting stories in about three hours. By the end of the week, I suspect they'll be talking about what breed of dog the players would be if they could become a dog.The good thing for me is that I don't have live television any longer and removed a major sports station from my radio presets.

I've only made it to the local strawberry farm two times this year. And Sunday, the young lady at the order window told me this was the last week for berries.I looked at my watch, not to check the time, but the date. It seems like we had a longer season this year, but it could just be me. I put the container of berries in the car and Kristi and I took the first pull off of our milkshakes. Mine was strawberry with no sugar added, so it didn't actually count as me eating, it was just a serving of fruit.
