Labor Day Weekend

Well, it's September 1^st and that means summer is coming to an end. It has been a good summer - a little rainy here in Northern Maine, but otherwise good - and as autumn nears, we are left to enjoy Labor Day weekend. But before you head out the door to enjoy your long weekend, allow me to give you a few pieces of advice:

• Always make sure your mussels, clams, and crabs are well scrubbed. Nothing ruins that Labor Day clambake more than sandy clams.

  
  
• Don't forget to provide some form of entertainment for any children who might be attending your holiday party. Beach balls, kites, and even a greased-up piglet will entertain the children for hours.
  

• Stock up on beer, ketchup, and toilet paper.


  
  
• If you are a guest of a Labor Day party, be sure to bring your host/hostess a small gift, to thank him/her for inviting you. Beer, ketchup, and toilet paper make great and practical gifts.

  
  
• And finally, if you have to work this Labor Day weekend, why not have a little fun? With an inflatable pool, a couple of umbrellaed drinks, and a speedo you can easily transform your office into a tropical oasis in no time (as well as show off your backside to Shelly in accounting...).

Now that you know the basics of Labor Day entertaining, enjoy your weekend. I'll see you back here on Tuesday.
