Labor Day

For all of you hard working people out there, today is labor day, take the day off. For those of you who may have to work today, I'll be thinking about you as I am enjoying my time away from the grindstone.

It's the day that ceremonially marks the end of summer, although it will officially be the summer season for another two weeks, actually September 22 when the autumnal Equinox occurs and we officially end summer. However I looked at Michelle last night at about 8:00 and noticed that it was actually starting to get dark out.

I guess my days of summer for 2009 are slowly going by the wayside. Gone for the summer of 2009 are the days of Softball games and meeting with the guys, gone is the Summer of Phil and days filled with shorts and sandals. Gone are the times of movies under the stars and trips to the zoo.

Welcome football season and the changing of the leaves. A time when hunters start to practice and Friday nights are filled with the sounds of football pads smacking together and loud harmonious chants and jeers come from the throng of people supporting their team.

Enjoy one last day of summer, have a BBQ, spend it with family, make a memory with some special people that will last you a lifetime. You don't have to work today, the kids are off from school, how many Mondays will you have this opportunity again with in 2009?
