It’s the last TMI Tuesday for the month of August. Did you know August was originally named Sextilis (‘sixth’). In 8 B.C. Sextilis was renamed August in honor of Roman Emperor Augustus. BTW…August or Sextilis was the sixth month of the year in the ancient Roman 10-month calendar.
1. In the Philippines today is National Heroes Day. Who is your hero? (You can name up to 3). Why?
Hmmm…I would say my father was one of my heroes. He was always quietly doing things and not complaining, but he had such a high list of accomplishments, was warm, caring, and always supportive.
2. August is Romance Awareness Month. What have you done to enhance romance in your life? Or what have you become aware of or discovered with regards to romance??
Not a lot lately. I need to work on this.
3. In the month of August there is National Raspberry Creme Day, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, and National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Which day are you most likely to celebrate and how would you celebrate??
Hmmm…that’s a tough one. I think I’d probably celebrate National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, and do so by baking up fresh batches of gooey chocolate chip cookies.
4. August 13 was International Left-hander’s Day. Who out there is a lefty? Anyone ambidextrous??
I celebrate this every year! I am very strongly a leftie – the only things I can really do even half-well with my right hand are cut with scissors and knives. I can print, slowly, with my right hand just barely well enough to do a crossword puzzle with breakfast. And I almost always masturbate with my left hand because I am not nearly as coordinated with my right hand by a long shot.
5. In the U.K. today is a late summer Bank Holiday. What are you doing (or did you do) with your “free” time?
Not a lot, really. I don’t have a lot of free time, so just relaxing is always good.
Bonus: Post a pic from your mobile phone that was taken in this month of August. Explain the photo…or not????
My bonus picture is at the top of the post – an August night a week ago.
