Time to Put Away the White Shoes

Happy Labor Day everyone. What is Labor Day exactly? To most it's just an extra day off from work, and honestly, that's all I care about. But there's more to it then just that.

• It's now the unofficial end of summer. Do me a favor and don't buy into that idea. There's plenty of nice days left in the "real" summer.
• Jerry Lewis' telethon goes on for about a day and a half. Some people actually look forward to watching unknown comics and washed-up actors perform.
• Football is just around the corner. And hockey's not too far behind (remember hockey?).
• It's a celebration of the working man. Actually it was originally created by President Cleveland in 1894. He made a campaign promise that he'd make the holiday in order to win votes. See, politicians have been shady forever!

So as you enjoy your day off (or even if you have to work...sorry), remember all that this great holiday has to offer. In the meantime, I'm just happy I don't have to work today.
