We are coming down to the end of summer and another school year. The student athletes have begun arriving on my alma mater’s campus. Every year they seem so much younger even though I know that I am the one that changed and that 15 year olds have always looked like 15 year olds.
But first, a word from our sponsors ...
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern.

If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
I’m coming up on a (minor) milestone birthday and I have been thinking a lot about it. Mostly as it relates to other members of my family making significant moves. We are all growing up. It is making me a bit, shall we say, wistful.
Babies are becoming toddlers. Toddlers are going off to school. Kindergarteners are suddenly entering High School. Cousins are parents and grandparents now. Life keeps on keeping on.
I don’t really have a lot more to say tonight. I hope that these last weeks of summer allow you to spend a moment or two with your loved ones. Take little mental pictures and save them to the internal hard drive.
Be well. And have a good night.
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
Note: Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
