If 'august' is defined as 'marked by majestic dignity or grandeur' is that why it seems to go by so slowly?

I think December should be called August, since it seems far more majestic than people romping around in shorts, throwing frisbees and generally having a good time.

Oh wait. That's how I spend Christmas anyhow... Besides, Having December as the eighth month only makes slightly less sense than having it as the twelfth.

Calendars are so messed up. What kind of a number is 7 anyhow? It has no place in a structured sequence. I think we should work on days that end with the number 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Then we get 'nosday, firstday, and twosday' off. For holidays we'd have a 'thirday weekend' or we'd get ninthday off.

Actually, I'd rather take of sixthday off for errands, and have a real weekend...
