Writing from the perspective of both a teacher and mother, I am overcome with mixed emotions. September is upon us and that means sending one off to college, another to high school and finally the third to middle school. The hustle and bustle of trying on new clothes, buying school supplies etc. should be a time for rejoicing. However, as a teacher, it is hard to say good-bye to summer. My days of planning engaging lessons, challenging thirteen year olds to wastebasket basketball and hearing about all the angst of these pre-pubescent teens are fast approaching.
A quick remedy? A girl’s night out at the local establishment that exudes summer–Rooftop 32. The white lights and landscape hide the fact that one is actually dining and imbibing on S. Park Ave, in Rockville Centre, NY! Meet the ladies for drinks and be sure to ask for Jessica. She will happily set you up at the bar with a cool Mojito or Long Island Iced Tea. The Seafood Trilogy consists of fresh lobsters, a dozen cherrystone clams and the most succulent jumbo shrimp on the Island. Weekday happy hour offers five dollar cocktails and impeccable service.
Take the time to reflect on the summer that passed; the lazy days spent on the beach, the fabulous Fourth of July fireworks and the cool mint floating in your second Mojito.
Don’t think of the upcoming Fall as a time of doom and gloom–instead, look to it as a time for change and opportunity!
