Pages fly off calendars, as in old movies. Months blur into one another. Seasons collapse. Yes, Memorial Day is just around the corner. But in the life of a professional party planner, summer is just a place holder on the events horizon, a false lull between the benefit season that winds down this week and the one that cranks up again immediately after Labor Day.
