Who says there ain't no cure for the summertime blues?

Well, it's summertime.

And, yeah, I do get the summertime blues. 

So this summer,  Pink Slip is taking extra-long weekends, and will be posting on Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday, at least through Labor Day. Four glorious day weekends (even if I'm retired and don't work, other than volunteering).

Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do.

I have promised myself that I will NOT be devoting my newly-freed up time to doomscrolling. I do enough of that already, and I can guarantee you that it is NOT the path to physical or mental wellbeing. Instead, I'll be doing some extra reading. Or going through my junk drawers. Or finishing my novel. Blues-curative actions, all. 

So who says there ain't no cure for the summertime blues? Well, it was early rock 'n roller Eddie Cochran way back in 1958, a couple of years before he was killed, at the age of 21, in a car accident. That's one way to cure the summertime blues that I'm happy I didn't take...
