Oh yeah, I had one of my big long threads all ready to go, reorganized it and timed out and lost it.
Please feel free to comment on my activities or add your own!
Short form:
Labor Day is the first Monday of September, and happens to be the day I was born. The date changes but I always have a holiday, so I have the tradition of using the "close enough" days for my birthday.
Today I am going to see one of my favorite artists, ZZ Ward. It is a shame she isn't better known but I guess her competition was Adele and Amy Winehouse and is sort of like playing golf in the Tiger Woods years, sure you were there, but who knew?? This will be our first time going to this venue, but like the rest of the town, is maybe 20 minutes away from home.
Here's the line up with links to selected songs by the musicians.

We have the deluxe pass so can go in and out, I'd like to see some of the other artists, especially Buckwheat Zydeco, but ZZ is my main draw.
Tomorrow we have steaks for the grill, should do our usual bowling date day Sunday.
Monday there is a small Parade down the main drag near us. As a coincidence to the picture my last job (many years ago now) I did payroll for a Union shop, IBEW 76
We may or may not go, but Raber Packing is always a big draw, is our local butcher shop with a lunch shop and big deli. I am enjoying small town middle America
