So whatcha got planned for our day off? That's right, we laborers get to celebrate all our work on Labor Day, September 3rd. I've done all kinds of celebrating on Labor Day. Some lunches, some dinners and some weekends camping in the mountains.
For most of us a Labor Day celebration involves some form of leisure. For me that usually involves someone else doing the cooking. So I like celebrating with good food and drink at a fine restuarant. Ahhh, the sweet good life.
But unfortunately for me, my Ex (when we were together) didn't really like the restaurant plan. She liked fishing in a Virginia reservior for our holiday. I was so crazy about her that not only did I give up my lunch, I rowed the boat across the reservoir and then all the way back to the dock. It was a metal row boat and slightly unsteady, but I made it to the dock and earned my "butch" points for the rest of the year. To be young and a lesbian in love...what we will do!!!
Nowadays I've settled with the love of my life, Kathleen, and we have our US Open (tennis) tournament holiday that always happens over Labor Day. So we always have a plan. And in this relationship we just order for delivery. I've matured, dontchathink?!?

Following or Vacuum??
Does this happen to you often?
Kathleen and I are out and about. And we walk into a store or a restaurant, and it's almost completely empty. If it's a restaurant, we sit down at a table and look at the menu. And when we look up to order, the restaurant is now full with people waiting to sit down. I often just write it up to "we beat the lunch/dinner crowd". But we don't always go to restaurants at lunchtime or dinnertime. We've gone between 2 pm to 4 pm and still brought in a crowd behind us. My rational mind says "It was tea time".
Every so often Kathleen and I go to a shopping mall. We like empty stores to shop in. It's more like personal shopping that way. So we're walking around and looking for an interesting store to walk into. We find some place that we like, and we often walk into an empty store, which suits us just fine. In no less than five minutes the store is full of people shopping. If I haven't found something to buy by then, I'm leaving empty-handed now.
Now my logical minds says that nature abhors a vacuum, and an empty restaurant or store is just like a vacuum. Kathleen and I just happen to be the first people inside the vacuum. If I was feeling weird, I'd say we had a following. But I'm not. I took physics in college so I'm going with the vacuum story. What's your explanation?
