New Year's Eve and New Year's Day always feel like a big nothing
burger to me.
There's not much about December turning to January that makes me
feel like time is marching on. But Labor Day? The end of summer? Back to
school? That's when the feeling of time slipping away grabs us like no other
time of the year.
Enter Tumbleweed Tuesday. That's the expression many Jersey Shore
locals used to describe the day after Labor Day when busy streets suddenly go
quiet enough for tumbleweeds to roll on by (if New Jersey had tumbleweeds).
On today's episode of Brian's Positively New Jersey, we meet
a man who may be the happiest man in New Jersey to see Tumbleweed Tuesday
arrive - the men's room attendant at the Seaside Heights Boardwalk. And he
gets to thinking about the feelings many of us have as school begins and summer
winds down, that time is moving just too fast.
