July - Birth Month

And so begins the most important month of the year, July. It was named for Julius Caesar, who was born in this month. There are three other very special birthdays in July - Barbara, me and America. Barbara has already started celebrating by buying a new computer, America is taking it easy this year. July 1st is Canada Day and July 14th is Bastille Day, the days those countries united to become the modern countries they are now. About a dozen other countries celebrate their independence in July, including the Bahamas and Argentina. July is also vacation month, we are heading off to Scotland, which of course, is my favorite place to be, but it makes for a difficult month at work. No one is around, you can't have any meetings or get anything important done because someone on the team is out. So, enjoy the ruby birth stone month and don't forget my birthday on the 31st.
