Sadly, it wasn't my family. As for August, we could drink to the kiddies heading back to school!</p> http://houstonist.com/2007/05/06/ask_a_dilettant_7.php#comment-1087415 http://houstonist.com/2007/05/06/ask_a_dilettant_7.php#comment-1087415 Comments Mon, 07 May 2007 00:15:53 -0600 <p>ROFL!!!

Long Day in Louisiana ...or if you'd rather drink than think, there's always Watermelon Day on August 3. And really, at least one day a year should be put aside for filling a watermelon up with vodka and then drinking the slush out of long straws. I know I put aside every Wednesday.</p>
