O' where, o' where, did my August go? O' where, o' where did August go?
Looked at my watch this morning, and realised it was already the first day of September.
Not that I have taken August for granted, but it has been quite busy for a traditionally (for most other people) lazy month. We now have less daylight than we had a month before - more than 80 minutes less than what we had on August 1. Right now it feels like university finals all over again. It's perfect out, but you're stuck inside.
Atleast there is the long weekend to look forward to, and the weather outlook seems to be perfect. Seems to be the only real rest many of us will get for a very long time. I have thought of walking the length of Manhattan on Saturday, but there is that slight possibility that I might not be able to walk normally for a few days after. We'll see how it goes.
Now, something related to the photo:
The hand belongs to one of my best friends, Archie. In June, when this was taken, he said he was gonna quit in August. I haven't talked to him since July, but I hope he smoked his last cigarette yesterday.
Everyone knows quitting is hard, and many of us had been quitting for many, many years. Well now that the Internet knows of your own promise, hopefully you will get more support from friends. Do it for the two girls, if not for you.
