Franklin TV: August

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 08/02/2026

How can we sum up the essence of August? Umm- Sultry? It’s a more poetic version of wikkid humid. August. I find a small irony in that Summer seems to fly by (Wasn’t it late May just last week?) while Winter slogs along. Yet Summer’s months (Jul, Aug) are just a bit longer than Winter’s (Dec, Feb). In the Southern hemisphere August is their slightly (10%) longer February. Do they feel mor chilly in Chile longer? Our perception of Winter time v Summer time is our reality.

The weather experts tell us that an abnormally huge El Nino is a-brewing – raising water temps in the Pacific. What does that mean? More heat? More sultry? More air conditioning into September? Less cold and snow in Winter?

Perhaps August is about shifting perceptions over time. We need to accept that, like it or not, tempus is fugit-ing. As we move ever deeper into August’s dog days let’s make the most of Summer’s sultry wilting leftovers while we begin that slightly reticent mental journey to Autumn.

Every month has its celebrations. What’s on deck for August? August is: 

National win with civility month. (Will President Trump celebrate?) 

National water quality month. (Will Interior Czar Doug Bergum celebrate?)

National immunization awareness month. (Will Health Czar RFK celebrate?) 

Note: This Friday is National Farmer’s Market Day. (Buy local. Buy fresh.)

If you check Wikipedia re: August – they list celebrations for every single day. So, if you’re not done ‘Summering’ (or simmering under the Sun), get out there and celebrate – something – in August.

Then – it’s on to Labor Day.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching. 

Thanks for listening to wfpr●fm,

Aging Boldfully: Dr. Kymberlee O'Brien, Med, PhD (video)

Aging Boldfully is a regular show on Franklin TV's All Access channel hosted by Susan Rohrbach. Dr. Kymberlee O'Brien, Med, PhD was Susan's guest for this recent show.

The show description: 

"Aging Boldfully is about living your next chapter outside of your comfort zone—fully embracing the uniqueness of you.

For many of us, the idea of aging doesn’t appear on our radar until we approach our 60s, when retirement begins to loom. During this time, our attention often narrows to one critical goal: ensuring financial independence. While that focus is important, it can distract us from an equally vital question: What am I going to do with the rest of my life? 

Each of our journeys is unique. Rather than clinging to the tired concept of “retirement,” we have the chance to rethink and redesign this new chapter. What will life look like now that we are the CEO of our own story? 

Aging Boldfully will explore the themes that matter most as we step into this phase—purpose, relevance, resilience, physical health, mental well-being, intentional living, and mindfulness. It will showcase members of our community who are finding meaning, living with purpose, and overcoming obstacles—real examples of what it means to age not just gracefully, but boldfully."
