Ranking the Months

Well, it's just after 7 am here in San Diego, but I've been up since 5:30 or so. I can't get used to the time thing in 2 days. I've been having a great time in SoCal, and will blog extensively about it in the future. But, I was thinking about this at the Angels game yesterday, so I wanted to do it. Ranking the months; which months are best and worst, in my opinion? Here you go:

12. January - not much beside bowl games and playoff football. Kind of a barren month that extends into...

11. February - my birth month, but that is all that makes it different (and a bit better) than the preceding month.

10. June - U.S. Open (golf), baseball not usually over for the Bucs fans...this month is grasping.

9. May - I don't think there is anything spectacular about this month. Horse racing's first two legs of the Triple Crown? I mean, I watch and I'm a fan, but not enough to make this month sweet.

8. April - Baseball season starts! Big plus.

7. July - I'm not a big fireworks fan, so the 4th is OK. It's hot. I like hot.

6. August - the laziest month of the year, because everyone goes on vacation during this month.

5. December - unlike other months for me, this is judged mostly on the holidays. It's hard not to be cheerful during this month.

4. September - football starts, school starts, high school football, college football saturdays, indian summer. good month.

3. November - Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, it starts the holiday season. Football kicks into high gear. Weather from October can carry over. Still get giddy with the first snow.

2. October - fall baseball, even without the Bucs, is special. College and pro football get into high gear, and college hoops practice starts. Plus, the weather is awesome. Fall is typified by this month, which is a great thing.

1. March - conference basketball tournaments. March Madness. Spring Training. "In like a Lion, out like a Lamb". Following Pitt hoops all over America. All make this the best month.
