As a rule, I love holiday weekends. Excuses to get together with friends or family or both and do some shmoozing and grilling and drinking and catch up on all sorts of stuff. But this is my least favorite holiday, because it marks the unofficial end of summer. The sun is getting too low in the sky and the outdoor pool is getting ready to close and the days are getting too short and all sorts of things I've been putting off must be attended to. I'm just not ready yet.
Shabbat Shalom.
