Farewell, July. We barely got to know
ye.
I don't have a “favorite” month of
the year, but if I did it might be July. Oh sure, the argument could
be made for December, with the holidaze and my birthday all rolled
into one,. But I think December would lose out on the argument for
the very same reason that July might win it--
The weather.
July is (usually) warm and sunny &
fun to play in. December (almost always) is not. That's why if I
had to choose a favorite month, it would probably be July.
Especially at the beginning of the month when the sun's high in the
skies, the days are long and the nights are short, and you can walk
around outside and not worry about various parts of your body falling
off.
You can't say that about December.
And this July has been particularly
nice. I mean, in the past week it's veered from hot & humid to
cool and rainy, but for the first half of the month it was, at least
for me, downright perfect. We had that 12-day string of 80 degree
days, there were very few clouds in the sky, and I could go for
countless walks on the beach or countless bike rides or soccer
practice sessions with Loraine and not even have to think about it.
Once again, you couldn't do that in
December.
Still, with all the stuff that's going
on in the world these days, it just kind of seems, at least to me,
that despite how good it's been this year's July could've been even
better. Just from my own point of view, I might have (in a normal
year) taken more time off of work to play outside, and while outside
would not have had to worry if the station (or the world) was falling
apart.
Even though it may sound like it, I'm
not complaining. I'd take a strange July over even a mild December
any time. You can just do the things I like to do with no problems
at all in July. If I did have to complain about something, it would
be that July is just too short.
Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do
about that.
So faretheewell, July. Thanks for
making it fun this year. I just wish you were able to stick around a
little longer.
On that note, I hop you enjoy your
weekend...the first one of August!
