#September

"In his or her own way, everyone I saw before me looked happy. Whether they were really happy or just looked it, I couldn't tell. But they did look happy on this pleasant early afternoon in late September, and because of that I felt a kind of loneliness new to me, as if I were the only one here who was not truly part of the scene."

"Any attempts at humor immediately after September 11th were deemed tasteless."

"I want to say something so embarrassing about September that even the leaves start blushing and turning red."
