August doesn’t have REAL holidays; at least not the kind
that give you time off. If you want a holiday in August, you make up your own.
Plenty of other people have. August 3 is National Watermelon Day. The tenth is
National S’mores Day, and today is National Marshmallow Toasting Day. They’re
not the same thing. You can toast marshmallows without making s’mores, and you
can have s’mores without toasting anything. I had three personal celebrations
this month. On August 17 the Trax station nearest my house finally opened for
service. This means I can take a train to the library or the airport without
getting into a car first. We visited the dentist two days ago, which means all
our smiles are clean as a whistle. School started August 19, which means my
piano students are through telling me they forgot their lessons because every
day felt like Saturday - at least until next June.
