Wood County Fair: I've Been Here Before

This year's Wood County Fair is coming to a close, and while it was business as usual at the most predictable fair in Ohio, I can honestly say that I enjoyed myself this year. I visited the fair three days, saw everything I wanted to see, and ate a variety of delicious foods without overdoing it.

In high school and college, the fair was a sign of the times, a traditional kickoff to the cooler months of fall and a reminder that I would soon be seeing my friends more often. In 2012 the fair is a reminder that tradition is not always a bad thing. While I may have complained about the fair's stale growth over the last couple of years, this year I learned to appreciate the dust, dirt, and grease for what it has become for me: a simple getaway that lets me bask in memories of my wonderful past.

Shifting gears, I am looking forward to a moderately busy August (lots of exercise and programming to be done). I plan to wrap up my Summer of Biking by the end of the month with hiking taking its place for the fall and winter months. I have a Reboot Weekend scheduled for the third weekend. I will be launching a new web application at the end of the month. All in all, August looks great.

B3 out.
