My calendar has been going nuts with sending me notices for friends' birthdays lately. Does anyone know what event happens ~9 months ago!?

You're talking Memorial Day weekend! And early June, which is the height of wedding season (and thus anniversary season too). And early summer, when lots of people go on vacation.

There are more things to do on the beach than get a tan.

That would depend on how old your friends are. Are they all the same age? It might help narrow down the year.

May is a time of year when some countries are getting colder so perhaps more are staying indoors at that time of year?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
