Happy Labor Day!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day
I know that, technically speaking, Fall doesn't officially begin until the Equinox. But let's face it, this is the last day of Summer. Already, many of my younger friends are back in school. Only the most dire of calendar fanatics and holdouts will argue that we can lump the next two weeks into the same Season as June or July. No. It's over.
I suppose it is to the credit of behavioral conditioning that even now, decades out of school, I still get a twinge of dread on this day. The last day of (relative) freedom. In past posts I've mentioned Sly & The Family Stone. I feel their that their hit, Hot Fun In The Summertime is my all-time fave song for the end of Summer. I've listened to it every time since it's release in 1969. Forty one years, a depressing enough footnote, I suppose, for a depressing enough day.
