Where did this year go ?

I recently saw a post from the Soho Grand Hotel in NYC that Gillian's is closing for the rest of this year since the weather is getting cooler. 

Gillian's is the outdoor rain forest styled restaurant and bar with a ton of tropical foliage and nautical decor. It is obvious that fall and winter months don't make the ambiance conducive to the restaurant's theme.

The point is - where did this year go? Alan Burdick wrote a book titled Why Time Flies in which he says “time is a social phenomenon,” and people don't directly perceive time's passage.

This is a very happy me in April enjoying warm weather at Gilligan's in Soho.
