HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2026<\/h1>\n

A week ago, my solitaire program on my iPad asked me if I wanted to change the design on the cards and background to their summer pool scene, which lulled me into the false feeling that it would still be summer for another long while. Why else would they offer that design at this time?<\/p>\n

So that we\u2019re already at Labor Day Weekend now came as a shock. (Which might be why I don\u2019t have much to say about the holiday\u2014I did not have a lot of lead time to write it.)<\/p>\n

But at least Labor Day falls kind-of on the late side of the possible dates this year, so that\u2019s a plus.<\/p>\n

However, here in LA we\u2019re still suffering through a major heatwave, which makes it feel like Fall is far away. The highs are now closer to the 90 degrees than the 100s of the previous few weeks, but that\u2019s still totally summer weather in the United States. Perhaps because I grew up in New York, I never feel like it\u2019s Labor Day unless it\u2019s crisp outside. And school is about to begin again, so you get your Fall wardrobe ready. I loved that feeling.<\/p>\n

Actually, the kids in LA don\u2019t get that feeling on any level these days. And that\u2019s because, in addition to the brutally hot weather, schools in LA\u2026began almost a month ago!!! That\u2019s insane! I\u2019m so glad that I\u2019m not a student anymore. Nor a teacher, for that matter.<\/p>\n

This is how I feel about Labor Day.<\/p><\/div>\n

Actually, Autumn does not officially begin until September 22nd, but in NY, (and elsewhere, as well, I\u2019m sure,) Labor Day has always signaled the end of summer. So we in LA have got to just go with the flow.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do. And I won\u2019t get any feeling from the weekend weather because, of course, I\u2019ll be in the house the whole time. Doing what you may ask? I\u2019m sure many of you know by now, but in case you don\u2019t, the answer is\u2026watching the US Open tennis tournament, of course! And, hopefully, see some results that make me happy to be doing so. (And don\u2019t forget to follow me on X because I\u2019m sure to be tweeting about the proceedings, as usual. @MajorCelebrity.)<\/p>\n

And now, I wish you all a fabulous, safe, and happy Labor Day Week-end. I hope that whatever you do for the next three or four days and nights will be fun, exciting, and\/or relaxing, (or any combo of those situations.) And above all, don\u2019t work too hard because Labor Day is designated to celebrate the workers by giving us our own day off.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
