The Jacoby Ellsbury walkoff home run on August 3, even though I cringed as they beat the heck out of him when he reached home plate.

Miller's Ale House. Boston Lobster Feast. Five Guys. Aloha Isle. The Terrace Grill.

8) Five things I am loving this month:
1. Marco Rubio's speech on the Senate Floor: "If my house is on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down." 2. The Red Sox "clinching" the season series against the Yankees for 2011, taking ten of the first 12 games played! 3.Lists. 4. The Red Sox bats! Wow!! 5. The fact that I can play my iPod through my car stereo.

9) A goal I had for this month:
To not wilt from the never-ending Summer?

10) This month I looked forward to:
Not much, really. It was kind of a low-key month.

I feel extremely fortunate that, in the present economy, my employer is thriving.

12) A photo I took this month:
I *know* I took photos in August. They cannot possibly still be on my camera...could they?
