August Rush
The end of summer doesn’t come soon enough for me. As another month ends,
I recall the rush of yard work, fighting mosquitoes and brutal heat, stock market volatility, short secondary vacations, and preparation for a new school year. Borrowing the title of a 2007 drama film that entertained me despite Robin Williams’ disturbing character, the words “August Rush” characterize the month in my mind.
Some think there’s a lot to get done before September, as if things can’t wait for a pause to enjoy the simple life. As profoundly stated by young Mr. Bueller on his day off, “Life moves pretty fast --if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” (1986 film --imdb.com)
Welcome, September!
