Ahhhh, Septembe'R'

[Mr. Sandman]

If there is a better time of year, I don't know what it is.

I don't know what floats your boat but September has it...

Or just walking on the beach holding hands with your wife looking for seaglass.

September is the month where you get that "it is great to be alive" feeling almost every day, even when the weather turns downright nasty, you just don't mind it in september. In fact, you welcome it. Fewer yahoos and tourists, lower humity, comfortable ocean water and sea breezes, great sleeping weather, almost everything is open yet no crowds. Oh yeah did I mention the fishing is pretty good to boot. Every September you get a few spectacular days offshore that are just well...spectacular, I can't wait. By far my favorite month, no question. If there was one month to have year round, September would get my vote.

Don't sit at your monitor....get outiside and enjoy this time of year.

I am ready for the fall,

See you in the suds, I'll be the guy with sea spray and a grin on his face who looks like he needs some serious sleep.
