Happy/Good/Merry/Whatever Labor Day to those of you in the U.S.

Labor Day.
Summer’s last hoorah.
The last day to wear white, in some fashion circles.
Or the day spend it at the mall/shopping center, hunting down the latest bargains.
The day we sit at home, on our collective recta, not working… unless you happen to work in the service industry.

Labor Day Related Songs
This is by no means an exhaustive or comprehensive list; these are just the first few songs that popped into my head:

• Working Man – Rush
• Working for the Weekend – Loverboy
• A Job Ain’t Nuthin’ but Work – Big Daddy Kane
• I Get the Job Done – Big Daddy Kane
• I Go to Work – Kool Moe Dee
• She Works Hard for the Money – Donna Summer
• Money for Nothing – Dire Straits
• Opportunities – Pet Shop Boys

It reminds me of Memorial Day, in the way that many people oxymoronically don’t – or possibly choose not to – remember the reason for the day… other than, once again, great sales.

Playing ‘Clix last night was fun. Chris handily handed me my plastic crack-playing ass. But, it was fun. I got to try out some new figures and get a better feel for some of the game’s dynamics.

Stray Toasters

• This morning, around 3:30 AM, the word “pericardium” popped into my head for no apparent reason.
• Papers, Please: Arrested at Circuit City for refusing to show ID, receipt
• 
• Spirit and Opportunity Are Back Online
• After a week away, tomorrow’s workout should be… fun (read: “painful”).
• When I First Kissed You, by Extreme, just came up on iTunes.  I haven’t heard this in many months of Sundays.  I guess that this is yet another reminder/reason that I’m going to finally have to integrate my home and work iTunes libraries.

Time to find some trouble to get into.  And lunch, too!

Namaste.
