September is the only month of the year that I am 100% sure of how many days a given month has. That’s because of the little memory aid “Thirty days has September….” I don’t remember any of the following verses about how many days are in the rest of the months, but I sure got September nailed down forever.
September’s summery days tinged with morning hints of cooler weather, make September a transitional month in more ways than one. We kick the month off with Labor Day which is always a fun, laid back holiday. However, we then get bogged down plowing thru all the 9/11 memories, which this year will be even more over played because it’s the 15th anniversary of all that. Not sure I want to rehash/re-see it; but good news is that on 9/12 we can all go back to pretending that it never happened and enjoy the rest of the month.
On the plus side, the NFL starts it’s Sunday schedule of games on 9/11 this year. (Think Stadium security will be tight for those game attendees?)
Birthday-wise in the Buzzy family my Godmother Peggy McMurray celebrates on 4 September. Duncan Lepper has his on 5 September. On the 6th El-Chucko Mettam and Pat Woodburn celebrate theirs; Jim Gray on the 8th. David “Clutch” Raley on 9/11; Gary “Chop Chop” Norris’ on the 15th; Lou Gentry the 17th; Joe Cullison on the 22nd followed by Bobby Wright on the 23rd; Lori McKay and Donna Wheatley celebrate theirs’ on the 25th. And to conclude a very busy birthday month, Joan Bean celebrates her day on the 27th.
So relax. Summer is over. Football is back and life is good.
Keeping with my Good/Bad/Ugly theme of the week, here’s a video variation on the above that you may or may not want to view (click here.)
