DEAR GEMINI

GEMINI [May 21–June 20] "Here's what I did not do this summer," begins the testimony of Beth Hylton. "Not once did I swing on a tire swing over the river, watching the pink shimmery reflection of myself in a wetsuit on a tire swing. I did not take a day off work to sneak out alone to Jones Beach with a book and a beer in a ginger ale bottle. I did not eat outside at a red-checkered-tablecloth-and-too-much-cheese-on-the-pasta Italian restaurant. I did not catch fireflies for the satisfaction of setting them free, and I did not nap in the noontime sun. Where are all the 'I dids'?" I'm happy to inform Beth, as well as any of her fellow Geminis who might have been remiss in doing the kinds of activities she named, that the next three weeks will be a very favorable period to make up for lost time.
