The Challenge Rambles and riff raff about all this and that

1Aug/080

August

This shall prove to be a busy month!

For starters, there is a certain sports events happening. But I have talked too much about that already.

This weekend I'm traveling to mi wife's hometown

By the end of the month: vacation; 1000 mile drive to Bariloche and, hopefully (as in "if it snows", and "if ski passes are somewhat affordable"!) some snowboarding.

The 24th, my wife's birthday, not to mention my mother-in-law's and grandmother-in-law's.

I have to thank Augustus (the Roman emperor) who decided to name a month after himself and gave it 31 days instead of the 29 it used to have when it was know as "Sextilis" under the Roman Republic's Calendar. Those 2 extra days shall prove to be quite useful to fit all events going on this month.
