Couldn't have said it better

Saw a couple of things in the Post the other day that I enjoyed:

(1) It would be very like me to have regrets about summer before it even arrives. (I've been known to start getting prematurely bummed about the end of vacation just a couple of days into it. Come to think of it, maybe that's one reason I liked living in Basel--at Fasnacht one year a local Baseler was telling us that even though it's the biggest celebration of the year, it can actually be very melancholy for participants because they know it will end soon.)

(2) Just as Gretchen was rueing that we couldn't see the bad-in-a-good-way Eurovision contest this year, we got this summary of what we missed.
