Happy Labor Day!

.
Although Labor Day is meant to commemorate "work" we celebrate it, how? By NOT working! That's the AMERICAN WAY! And we LOVE it!!

I hope you all had a terrific three day weekend and are enjoying your Monday even more.


As I mentioned last night, Anderson is not taking his third day off and we'll see his beautiful face tonight -- if what he said on Friday, "See you all back here on Monday," was not a slip of his memory or an eagerness to come back to do what he enjoys best that got on the way... But also, if I heard correctly, at some point in the news he was talking to somebody and he asked something like, "will you be here in Los Angeles...?" Which means he is not in New York... So, he is both working and having fun somehow, the way only he knows how to combine.



HAPPY LABOR DAY!

And now, for your enlightenment and knowledgeableness (if there is such a word), a brief history -- according to Wikipedia -- of this contrariwise holiday:



Labor Day on Sept. 5, 1882, Union Square, New York.


Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September.

The first Labor Day in the United States was observed on September 5, 1882 in New York City, by the Central Labor Union of New York, the nation's first integrated major trade union. It became a federal holiday in 1894, when, following the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland put reconciliation with the labor movement as a top political priority.

The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday: A street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations," followed by a festival for the workers and their families. This became the pattern for Labor Day celebrations. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civil significance of the holiday.
