I resolve to use my balcony more

The song "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James and Shondells is playing on the radio right now and my coworker has labeled it "music for just chillin' in the backyard in the summer." I don't have a back yard anymore, but I do have a balcony. It's a nice one -- a real humdinger. I didn't spend enough time out there enjoying the outdoors this last year so I resolve to spend more time out there this year. There. I said, it. Now hold me to it.


This is a picture of Katie and me out on said balcony before her 25th birthday party in August.
