Time of the Season

Today marks the first day of Fall. Yes, it’s true, Summer 2008 is officially a thing of the past. Some people may be bummed to see summer fade away, but not me! And here’s why!

TOP 10 THINGS ABOUT THE END OF SUMMER AND BEGINNING OF FALL

10. The Chapstick you leave in your car won’t melt all over the dashboard . . . again.

9. There are no high-pressure social holidays like July 4th or Labor Day to make you feel like a total loser.

8. You’ve been dying to strut your stuff all summer. And now, the perfect opportunity to wear your new Pilgrim costume is just around the corner!

7. Substitute pumpkin for watermelon and you’ve got yourself a kick-ass seed spitting contest!

6. August means bold. June is a woman’s name. But Fall months? Totally. Keeping. It real.

5. No awkward elevator conversations will begin with “[sigh]…sure is hot out there…”

4. Flabby upper arms? Wear a sweater! Untoned thighs? Who cares!

3. You can still drink Corona. Just use a hearty Bavarian beer stein.

2. No more of that “I don’t have to work for two months” crap from your teaching buddies.

1. Fall is the only season that is also a four-letter word. Now … what the fuck is better than that?

Happy Equinox!
