Post Labor Day

By Jimmy Johnson


I’ve been so busy catching up after the New England foray, that I haven’t had a chance to update for days. When I said things would get back to normal around here, that isn’t exactly what I meant. And then there was the holiday, etc. Anyway, Tuesday always is a good reset day at arloandjanis.com. Here’s a late Labor Day-weekend cartoon from 2009. It accurately reflects how Labor Day was around here. I did get out Monday evening on a local lake after the craziness had subsided, and I saw a bald eagle. Was I ever angry! I’d just spent a lot of money and trouble to get to Maine, where I saw eagles, and here was one in my own county. I felt cheated.

    Up at 6 a.m. and getting dressed for show and boat cleaning. Barely dawn.

    You are right of course Ghost. I am Da Queen of Da Nile.

    It’s not just a river in Egypt. I try to grab life and embrace it like there will be no other chance.

    Going to clean boat and let Dickens run around in cabin.

    Chuckling over today’s real-time A&J. That’s why men and kids never have to use the facilities at the beach. Practical women don’t, either. 😉

    Jackie, The Adventure Dog must be having a ball with you. Is he a people pup?
