According to Pogo, Friday the thirteenth comes on Monday this month. Howdee all you Virgos. Guess September is a good month to be born, my mother was born in this month; also a brother. My life has been touched gently by several Septemberanians. I am grateful.

I was listening to a record a few days ago on the stereo, the artist was singing the September Song. September represents a season of the year when various crops are gathered, especially fruit. Wine is made, and according to quality of the fruit its vintage is determined; it was a good year, etc. Some of my former colleagues would sometimes say, “Si, I believe you are growing more mellow as you grow older.” I would pretend I agreed with them and reply, “Yes, I am like good wine, I mellow with age; bad wine turns to vinegar.” Being such an expert on wine, I spoke with authority. Haha. But let’s get back to September. It is the beginning of autumn, and autumn represents the last part of the year, the gathering-in season, the vintage part of the year. “0 t it’s a mighty long time from May to December, but the days grow short when you reach September. The days dwindle down to a precious few, and these few , precious days I want to spend with you.” Of course, the singer wanted to spend the evening time of life j with his loved one.

Many of us are in the autumn i time of life, could we not look back I to our Maytime and thank God for < all He has done for us, for His i guidance through the years, for ; His blessings in bring us this far. Maybe we could say deep down in i our heart of hearts, “Father, I i have wandered from you in my earlier years, but in what is left of my life, “these few precious days I want to spend with YOU.” Smokey Soya:
