Brian Laird on WNYC and we'll close out our week for our last 15 minutes of this week

with the question, what are you going to do on this beautiful summer weekend?

And how is it different from what you might have

done in a July or August summer weekend? And maybe you're thinking summer, you might be

questioning why we would consider this weekend in mid-September to be a summer weekend at all.

After all, Labor Day has come and gone. Kids are back in school and many of your fall

enthusiasts have brought your sweaters out of storage happily. But folks, summer doesn't begin until next

Sunday, September 22nd. Therefore, this weekend is the last full weekend of summer,

and with this gorgeous weather forecast, I'm sure many of you will be

enjoying some traditional summer activities over the coming days. But the question is,

in this weather, do you have things that you do? Do you have like September things that you do

that are different from the July and August and late June, summer things that you do that are different from the July and August and late June.

Some are things that you do.

Despite the hurrah for fall that typically picks up around this time of year for so many people,

a recent piece in the New York Times reminded our Brian Laird Show team that September is in fact

a summer month. In fact, the subjects interviewed in the story would argue that September may be

the best month of summer. After all, June, July and August can be hideously humid, as we all

know, to the point where outdoor activities are much less pleasurable. Those who work or reside in

vacation spots along the East Coast can finally enjoy their surroundings in September, maybe ironically, because it's so nice,

with fewer tourists taking up space.
