A Welcome To August

Dear Unsealers,
It’s the first day of August. It feels crazy that most of the summer and eight months of this year have already gone by. But here we, in the dog days of summer.

As I tend to do when a new month begins, I welcome it in with a poem and a coconut full of water to take the edge off the late summer heat.

And it goes something like this…

A welcome to the month of August

Eight months into the year
With four more left to go

31 new days ahead
Deep into the heart of summer
The Dog Days are here once again

I wonder how it went by so fast
As June happened like five minutes ago

For this month, no holidays on tap
The drafts where Going Places comes together
A familial birthday and the US Open at the end

And the rest of the month, a blank page
The story’s waiting to be written

This new month now begins!
