NOTE: This originally ran in the TALLASSEE TRIBUNE in August, 2013.  Over the past few years, more people have approached me about this column than any other I’ve ever written.  So, I therefore present for your reading pleasure a command performance of “Gator Boy and the Bikini Mama.” – M.B.

Our summer vacation ended this week with the return of the Bird bunch to school.  This week, I paused to reflect for a moment on the summer just past.
