Labor Day

Hello!

Sorry about the delay there, folks. It seems my grandson Christopher went on vacation without telling his dear old Grandpop. I had to hear about it from his mother, who happened to be checking his e-mail. Still, he's back now, and I do love him, even though I may not love the choices he makes in life. Why I remember growing up you told your elders everything. From dating advice to buying a car to how your day at school was, there was a time when elders weren't just respected but listened to. Now I'm not some old crank, and this isn't directed at Christopher, it just seems to me that you don't have as many conversations across generations as you used to.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Labor Day. I myself took in a baseball game on television, and we had a picnic here at the community. There was some good potato salad and some good conversation. I always thought Labor Day was an important holiday to celebrate. Even though I don't really “labor”much these days, it's still good to take a break from everyday life now and then.

Until next time,

Cooper Thurlow
