What's Up With That? #7: Why is it called "Labor Day" if everyone's off work?

We should call it "Non-Labor Day." Or "Labor-Free Day." Or "Anti-Labor Day." Or something.

I didn't actually labor today, but I've been busy nonetheless. I edited a handful of reviews for DVD Verdict, and banged out the first draft of my MC script for the chorus performance on Saturday. The chorus is rehearsing tonight, despite the holiday, what with the performance in five days and District contest three weeks after that. I'm MC'ing this evening's rehearsal — which I did for two and one-half years before taking a hiatus — so it should be an interesting time.

Still hot, though. It'll be days before the fire up at The Geysers is under control.
