    I'm not sure. I didn't really celebrate anything. Being unemployed after 15 years in the workforce sucks.

    Best of luck to you all in the future.

    I spent the morning sleeping in, then went to get Dim Sum with family, who is visiting LA. Then took a nap. Then hit up Hermosa Beach to chill at www.fiestahermosa.com then walked around Manhattan Beach, then grabbed burgers at http://www.thecounterburger.com/

    then went home to surf the net and prep for the week ahead!

    :cheers:

    Originally it was intended to have parades celebrating "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations." And we got the idea from CANADA! Does it get more socialist than that?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day

    Kind of hard to imagine "Labor Day" ever passing through congress in the past 25 years. "Tax Cut Day" or "Conservative Day" or "Get Rich Doing As Little As Possible Day," but actually celebrating people working and organizing? Seems antiquated.

    I'd like to live to see a day when the biggest holidays were Earth Day, New Year's Eve and Veteran's Day. Those have always struck me as the ones that stand on their own merits and represent bigger ideas everyone can get behind--earth, rebirth and sacrifice. And it's pretty hard to turn any of those into consumerist extravaganzas (aka, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day....)

    I close my eyes when I pee, because I feel guilty for looking down on the unemployed.
