Last year I posted about why August is my least favorite month. A year later, I haven’t changed my mind.
Here’s why I still don’t like August:
1. The brightness of summer-come-upon-us in June is now dingy and dull.
2. I’m tired of the heat.
3. We usually vacation in June or July. Winter vacations are months away. Not much to look forward to in between.
4. Preseason football is a tease.
5. I didn’t play football in high school, but most of my friends did, so they were busy and I was not.
6. I start missing my favorite TV shows. Many of them won’t roll out new episodes until late September.
7. There are no major sporting events to get excited about.
8. If you had a great summer, then August sadly brings it to a close. If you didn’t have a great summer, August reminds you of the missed opportunity for some summer fun.
What can you add to this list?
If you like August, and want to make a case for it, I’m ready to listen.

I completely agree with all your points. I do have the advantage of placing my birthday in the middle of September which helps with the laps of time. I would like to suggest that you take up watching NASCAR. August is still a bit of an issue there, but they are closing in on the CHASE in August which at least gives you a reason to keep watching. With all that said, your welcome to join me and my September birthday buddies at the Oasis to watch the dingy sun go down.
Robert–glad to see you back online. Hope you had a great summer.
I agree with all your points Wade and I’d like to actually put #2 in bold letters. Coming back from the grocery store looking like you’ve just done a kick-ass workout with Heather is never cool. If I’m gonna sweat like a pig I’d rather do it in a gym being productive!
August in Boston isn’t bad but in Texas… it should be illegal. Just sayin.
