Weekend Reading: Fading Summer Edition Anastasia Salter Sundial, Perranporth flickr photo by Tim Green aka atoach shared under a Creative Commons (BY) license Summer is moving quickly, especially for those of us with semester start times looming just around the corner in August. This is the time of year when deadlines on the calendar are definitely closer than they appear.
