The Boss Says, ‘Take A Hike, It’s the Labour Day Weekend’
And who are we to argue?

By David Farrell

And who are we to argue?

So we is off to the beach, the CNE, everywhere and anywhere there’s a party, the sound of music, girls, girls, girls and a sewing club (yeah, we just love to do needlepoint on a lazy summer afternoon).

But, hey, we is educated and good at obeying rules, so wees back like geese in summer next Thursday to entertain you all. So, no Labour Day Monday rocket express from us, but we be taking pictures, scribbling in our jot pads and making a scene wherever we goes, so don’t be frettin’. Thursday, a.m., like a promise made at the chapel in Niagara Falls.

Later, gators!
