Man, I think I hate August 31 more than any other date. I like April 15 — tax day — better.
Summer is over. And what a fine point there is on this date. Sheryl is taking Matt up to NYU to move his things into his dorm. (Fortunately, even though he has a broken hand, he can still lift things and Justine is going with them.) Steve starts school tomorrow.
All that adds up to our house waking up at 5:30 am. It means that it’s dark out when everyone starts moving. It means school buses in front of me on my way to the train. (And me trying to not get behind them.) It means wearing a jacket in the morning and sweltering in the afternoon. (At least for a while.)
Dang…I’m going to miss summer.

totally second that! It’s cloudy, rainy, and cold here. We only had a couple months of nice weather. Now we’re back to the rainy season.
Moni, luckily it’s still warm here…but there have been a couple of chilly nights…and those are a harbinger of cold weather to come.
But August 31 is the birthday of Michael Jackson.
But if your a big fan of Fall and hate the heat like I do, September 1 is kind of nice.
I’m late to the party, but I love the new look of your blog, Frank!
While sad to see the 97′F weather go (ahem, really?), I can’t say I mind looking forward to hot cider and sweaters!
Thanks, J.T. I figured after 4 years it’s time to spruce up the place. I’m still working on it!
Yay for Sept. 1…kids are back in school…and that fresh fall air will be here soon. (But not today.)
Mark, I am definitely a fall weather guy…I just wish it weren’t followed by winter…or if it has to be winter, a real winter…in the mountains. Yes…I love the fall. And with it approaching 100F on Sept. 1, I’m even more ready.
How did I miss MJ’s b-day? Guess he won’t be celebrating with Jesus Juice and a bevy of Macauley Caulkin look-alikes anymore.
Oh, totally. Winter in the city ain’t no fun. When I lived in Colorado, we dreamed of snow, tho! The best.
