What's the good word?
Last day of summer break for the younger 2, so probably not many good words from them today. But they've been lazing around all summer, it's about time for them to get back to it.

I used to hate the end of summer break. Christmas will be here before you know it.

I hate the progression of the season, knowing winter is getting even closer. But the kids going back to school is fine with me because otherwise, they would just be on their electronics all day.

As winter is no longer as long or unpleasant here it's not much of an issue. Coming up on my favorite time of year with cooler weather, beautiful outdoors and FOOTBALL!

Today is Tuesday, Aug. 20, the 233rd day of 2024.
There are 133 days left in the year.
Today in history:
On Aug. 20, 1968, the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact nations invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the “Prague Spring” liberalization movement.
Also on this date:
In 1858, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution was first published, in the “Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society”.
In 1862, the New York Tribune published an open letter by editor Horace Greeley calling on President Abraham Lincoln to take more aggressive measures to free enslaved people and end the South’s rebellion.
In 1866, President Andrew Johnson declared the official end of the Civil War.
In 1882, Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” had its premiere in Moscow.
In 1910, a series of wildfires swept through parts of Idaho, Montana and Washington, killing at least 85 people and burning some 3 million acres.
In 1920, the American Professional Football Conference was established by representatives of four professional football teams; two years later, with 18 teams, it would be renamed the National Football League.
In 1940, exiled Communist revolutionary Leon Trotsky was attacked in Coyoacan, Mexico by assassin Ramon Mercader. (Trotsky died the next day.)
In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Economic Opportunity Act, a nearly $1 billion anti-poverty measure.
In 1986, postal employee Patrick Henry Sherrill went on a deadly rampage at a post office in Edmond, Oklahoma, shooting 14 fellow workers to death before killing himself.
In 1989, 51 people died when the pleasure boat Marchioness sank in the River Thames (tehmz) in London after being struck by a dredger.
In 2012, after 80 years in existence, Georgia’s Augusta National golf club (home to the Masters Tournament) invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become its first female members; both accepted.
In 2023, Tropical Storm Hilary struck Baja California, killing three and causing $15 million in damage.

Definitely sounds like a dream. Unfortunately, south isn't an option for me, as the wife wouldn't survive one week there in July or August. Lol

I've got to imagine it worked. Though, most things seem to set him off these days, so it's not really that difficult.

We have this thing called AC. I'd much rather a bit warm in July and August (as it is a lot in the Northeast as well) for mild Dec-Feb/Mar. Where you can golf every day! (except Monday, the course here is closed... ;))

You don't have to tell me, I've made the argument many times. Golf year round is a fine goal, but not sure it's one I'll get to enjoy.

Had to go to Youtube for that one. Don't remember it, but it certainly hit the nail on the head.
