Wine is a labor of love!

Wine is the only Work of art you can drink Antoinette.

The problem with Labor Day is there are no specific rituals or traditions besides possibly bbq and shopping by laborers and those related to laborers from laborers laboriously laboring on labor day. Of course we know it signals the end of summer symbolically speaking that is... the pool goes, the heat stays. Students are back in school. The whining has begun when your football team loses😭, and the crowing begins for those who win!😁🥂... just remember, win or lose, you booze... or should I say WINE!🍾 In fact I think it's time to establish some traditions while celebrating the working man. Afterall, St Pat's gives us beer, Cinco gives us tequila, Christmas gives us nog, etc... so I think it's only fitting that Labor Day gives us wine to honor the working man. To paraphrase humorist Jack Handey who said there's no time to worry about your liver when the hopes and dreams of the working man toiling in the vineyards depends on your consumption. Time to #MAWA...Make America Winos Again...do your part by uncorking the official alcohol of Labor Day to celebrate the American worker no matter what their employment! We can start with the American Patriot who got the G.O.A.T. country started officially with the signing of the Treaty of you know where...Paris... where they do 2 out of 3 "W's" well...Wine and whoopie.... but so so on the 3rd! Give up? 😉...never surrender! Next let's cheer Uncle Sam, created this week in 1813 in the midst of the War of 1812 as an embodiment of what Americans do for each other... the government of the peeps, by the peeps, and for the peeps. Fill'er up! Next it's time to say cheers to yet another Virginian to become President...some say the state of presidents has 8 sons to hold the office, but the real answer is 9! This week we remember the guy who remembered the Alamo...Sam Houston...the George Washington of Texas! Yeeha! How about those who work without working... time to remember perhaps the first millennial and portent of why you should drink wine... the professional student HD Thoreau, who made the Transcendental😉 decision to leave his mom's backyard after 2 years of "roughing it" to move into Ralph Waldo Emerson's basement... apparently it had wifi...but who unfortunately died at the young age of 44 as an abstainer... I'm no doctor but...🤔🍷. Then of course we get to an American native son, Geronimo. The last great Apache chief gave up the fight this week in 1886, and went on to become one of the first Indian celebrities... and call name for crazy stunts like jumping from an airplane...Geronimo!🏂 Cheers. And let's bring it home by recognizing a great American athlete who showed what talent, hard work, civility, dedication, respect, and perseverance can do and what American exceptionalism is all about as we toast Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak...cheers!⚾️🍷And cheers to the rest of my fellow Americans and Canadian neighbours like Bachman and Turner celebrating a day off today...this is one day you don't have to 

...get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out
