I know it’s only a day, but..

There never was a summer vacation that I recall that ended while it is still August, but my son is expected at school tomorrow, August 31, 2009.

I know it’s only one day, but it is still August. 
I know there is the Swine Flu Thing, but it is still August.

It just doesn’t seem right. To me.  My son seems to care less. 

He is actually looking forward to going back to school.

What has happened to kids today???

Back in the day we would have organized committees, tacked signs to sticks, prepared safe houses and decided what to do if the police came. Now, they get on the bus, plug in their iPods, put on a happy face and go to school.

But, it’s still August!!!

August and March

A friend in Sonoma just commented on noticing how it isn’t as light now when she gets up at 0530.  Why she gets up that early in Sonoma escapes me, but I am sure she has her reasons.

 August like March is a transition month.  For those of us who renew our routines in September, a huge amount of preparation takes place in August.  Grasping onto the last threads of light in the morning and in the evening, we still thinks weeks ahead.

I have a five year plan.  I hope it is more successful than those the Soviet Union used to displace people and free will.  It really is a seven year plan but that would bring all sorts of jinx issues into play.

This plan gets revised every August.  It was a twelve year plan once.  I suppose that’s a good sign.
