Summernox

Hello Monday and Happy Summernox! 

Not familiar with this just-made-up-by-us holiday? It's the half-way point between the Friday of Memorial Day weekend (May 23 this year) and Labor Day (Sept. 1) – which came out to yesterday per our calculations here. So for calendar-summer-adherents like us, your second half of summer kickoff is today; make the most of it!  And happy Bastille Day (or le 14 juillet or la fête nationale, as you prefer).

If you're one of those folks who marks summer from the Summer Solstice (June 20) to the Vernal Equinox (Sept. 22), that mid-point is known as Lammas Day, which technically tracks to Aug. 6, but appears to normally be celebrated on Aug. 1 – which has the advantage of falling on Friday this year for a cheerier cookout.
