Since Summer is about to kick into high gear do you have any trips planned? No. I had planned a "trip of a lifetime" end of 2020 for June 2021. In March 2021 it got postponed to July 2022. At the beginning of this year it was decided my roommate and I could not make it after all so I was blessed to have the tour company buy it back from me, so I have been reimbursed in full. Disappointing but maybe some day in the future......
Unrelated to first question - is there an upcoming event you are looking forward to? Everything no matter how small counts! No.
First thing that come to mind - a personal favorite summertime memory (or series of memories) from long ago: Childhood memories of going to the beach on a day trip occasionally. Always enjoyed those times.
What is your favorite thing about Summer? Fall follows. Fall in my favorite season.

Please name a song you haven't heard in a while, popped into your head, and looked up on the internet to listen to, or a last song or artist that you played from your personal collection?

My apologies if the Wednesday Questions are about to be posted. I have a feeling they are not and I am not sure when Kathryn is coming back. I thought I read somewhere 3 weeks total but not sure.!
Thank you for subbing, John. I had wondered about this last night but Pam said two weeks so I was trying to stay out of the way. Any assigned Qotd poster should really have the consideration to arrange their own substitutes while making it clear exactly how long they're needed instead of abandoning their post when they feel like it and leaving others to pick up the slack.

Last restaurant meal was grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans from a local diner.
