This time of year has a tendency to really drag out while simultaneously flying by. It reminds a bit of the old saying all new parents are warned with, “the days drag out but the years fly by.” Except there are no kids here. Only football games it seems we’ve been waiting years for and the grains of salt slowly sifting through the hour glass as we wait to tear another page off the calendar on our desk.
Yet here we are, in the first full week of August, and despite what will feel like an agonizingly long time until kickoff on August 31, we are only 26 days away.
