1. So long, summer. We hardly knew you.
Enjoy the day, children. Tomorrow it's back to school you go.
Of course, just when we all thought that we'd be getting back to normal for the 2021-22 school year, along came the delta variant.

2. Honoring a legend.
Longtime former Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden died Sunday at the age of 91, and it didn't take long for the tributes to start pouring in.
Fans of the legendary coach who preached faith, family and football -- in that order -- will get the chance to say their goodbyes at two public events.

4. Oh, Canada.
On the way back from Tokyo, the U.S. champions could make a pit stop in Canada. That's because our neighbor to the north has reopened the border to vaccinated Americans.
