Even though Labor Day is coming to a close, it’s important to remember what the Labor Day national holiday is all about and who it was meant to honor. A picture is supposedly worth a thousand words, and when I think of Labor Day, this is what comes to mind.

• For those buried in paperwork somewhere in cubicle land…
• For the firefighters risking their lives trying to save our homes…
• For teachers who go that extra mile to make sure we got it…
• For the nurses who rarely get enough appreciation…
• For the homebuilders who didn’t get as much labor as they wanted in 2009…

… I thank you for your diligent work.  Hope you had a swell three day weekend, and that you don’t need another few days off from partying so hard!
