Golden Dreams Were Shiny Days

The Friday Five:

1) This is the 1st of September, what do you want to accomplish by the 31st?
To use up as many vacation hours from work as possible.

2) What does September make you think about or feel?
Strangely enough, going back to school, even though I haven't set foot in a learning institute going on 20 years. Also reminds me of Halloween and how much fun my friends and I used to have with all that. And of course, the distinctive b.o. sweat aroma of Sci-Con in the air (RIP).

3) September is the ninth month; can you name nine memories so far from this year?
All I can remember is that one thing with the guy in that place with the cheese sticks. Good times.

4) What does September have in common with three other months and can you name them?
Can I name three other months? January, April, and November. What do these months have in common with September? The fact that they aren't February, March, or December.

5) The first weekend in September signals the end of summer for many even though it doesn't t really end for weeks. When does summer end for you?
Well, back when I used to live at the beach the summer often ended for me Labor Day weekend when the tourist season came to a grinding halt and traffic was no longer so treacherouss to drive down to the porn store Harris Teeter in the middle of the night to buy abushell of bananas. Now that I live much further inland... hmm, heck, summer ends when I say it does. And hopefully I'll say it soon, because I detest the summer.
