frog days of summer

The Frog Days of Summer are breezing by way too quickly, and so are the summer blockbuster movies. Maybe you've already seen the new Harry Potter film, "Captain America" and the latest "Pirates of the Caribbean". Now what?

"I hear things, I hear things," as Bobby DeNiro would say. Today, the talented actor Robert DeNiro is 68 years old. I don't know of any other contemporary actor who does it all so well - drama, comedy, playing the hero and the heavy.

During the Frog Days of Summer, when the McSheas head off on vacation to Cape Cod, we always make sure we sign up for a whale watch. No, it's not a tourist trap or gimmick like those glass-bottom boats, but it's a fascinating way to get up close and almost personal with these incredible mammals...whales!

Obviously, the earth is not just standing still and climate change is a reality, as glacial ice continues to melt and break off. Maybe your vacation plans during the Frog Days of Summer don't include Alaska, but some tourists got an eyeful there earlier this week.

Those diagonal lines you see on a baseball field? How come my lawn doesn't look like that? During the Frog Days of Summer, when we're mowing every week or so, I thought I would look into this subject.

The Frog Days of Summer are by no means over, but football is on the way!If you're a football or baseball fan, you know the name. Deion Sanders is the only pro player to play in a an NFL Super Bowl and Major League Baseball World Series. Deion Sanders is 44 years old today.

Yes, even thought it's the Frog Days of Summer, we do have some deep thoughts at time. Each day, when we conclude "Greg's Grill" request hour at noontime, I always say, "Now that we've had some food for lunch, how about so food for thought".

I learned exactly what is meant by the "Dog Days of Summer" a few years ago from a listener who corrected me on Big Frog 104. To begin with, we have plenty of Frog Days of Summer left, so let's see what makes a dog day a dog day.

It's probably the most common food we eat for lunch...the sandwich. During the Frog Days of Summer, we observe National Sandwich Month throughout August. We all have our favorites, and mine is a corned beef sandwich or Reuben (with a name like McShea, what did you expect)?

During the Frog Days of Summer, there's great weather to "go fly a kite".  When my wife and I were on vacation a couple of weeks ago, as we sat on the beach, we would see moms, dads and kids flying their kites.

Summertime, and the living is easy. Is it? Well, maybe if you're on vacation. If you're  spending y0ur workday with us during the Frog Days of Summer, we like to take a break during "Greg's Grill" request hour and offer some food for thought.

I'm not trying to pry, but Woman's Day Magazine has asked it's readers "Where did you spend your summer vacation"? The McShea family always prefers a summer vacation where there's water, and plenty of it. There are plenty of Frog Days of Summer left, so maybe this can give you an insight into how you might spend your vacation.
