dear august, i hate to see you go...

august was another memorable month with some noteworthy transitions. i think the best way to present these events would be to countdown the minutes until it is officially SEPTEMBER.

10 - days that i got to spend at home in massachusetts with my parents and two younger sisters

9 - is the score i give to the cafeteria food here at John Carroll (it puts the menu @ PC to shame)

8 - the number of Olympic gold medals that Michael Phelps won this month in Bejing

7 - new Cleveland JVs and i've already been able to be a supportive fJV to them

6 - ty percent chance that veronica will move back to cleveland before the winter solstice

5 - different & oftentimes frustrating ways of getting around (rapid, RTA, walk, bike, carpool)

4 - month anniversary for Gisella and I (she is pretty special)

3 - lovely young women (allison, brigid & veronica) whom i had to say farewell to after living in intentional community and serving with them in Cleveland for the past eleven months

2 - places at once (still trying to balance my time spent in west & east cleveland)

1 - more day until graduate classes begin...

even though i loved you* (august), i welcome you** (september) with open arms...

son, i do love your countdown, HOWEVER, i did notice that my twin got a shout out (obvi) and V got not one, but TWO (and yes, she does deserve it) BUT i did not see any shout outs to your fathers, so here is an alternative that you can use for one of the numbers:

2 - the number of fathers i gained this summer and whom i adore OH SO MUCH

just a suggestion...
