WHAT THEY
SAID ABOUT
SUMMER
Do what we can,
summer will have
its flies.
Ralph Wal do
Emerson

Sound loves to
revel in a summer
night.
Edgar Alan Poe
I'm single. It's
summer. People
need to know.
Eve
I need the smell of
summer, I need its
noises in my ears.
Brand New
My summers are defined by conspicuously enjoying
myself. My mental to-do notes for the summer look a
little like: find a favorite ice cream, a summer passion
and an album to define my summer.
Every year, this has changed, and the most impor-
tant thing I've learned is to be flexible: a sum-
mer in Balad, Iraq was defined by whatever
ice cream the chow hall was serving,
whatever music was blasting from the
radios in our "hootches," and whatever
we could do between being mortared.
As a single mom, my passions are now
my 4-year-old's, and left to her devices,
I'm eating more bubble-gum ice cream
than I care to mention.
This summer is a different beast entirely,
which is why I bring up flexibility.
In your hands is the fruit of our
summer labors: the first issue
of On The Record. With a
skeleton crew, we've borken
out of the NT Daily grind
and found the stories
to kick back with this
summer - to entertain,
to inform, and most
importantly, to make
you think. We've been
working to bring you not
only this, but stories and
breaking news on the Web at
ntdaily.com.
We invite you to take a look
around, enjoy and let us know what
you think. Meanwhile, I'll be catching
up on Wally Lamb, listening to The
Decemberists eating cherry-chocolate ice cream.
Cheers!
