Hey Dr. Shon Welcome to the Fab 40's. I hope you enjoy being/posting here. There are a bunch of great folks around here.

Good morning!!! Sure was a boring night without CF last night! Oh well, good thing my IM's were working!!! Did someone say the coffee was ready? John, did you eat all the bagels?

Happy Labor Day Theo are you off work?

Yep. I'm off work. The three day weekend really helps getting over my jet lag. ABC will be having a fund raiser today. (Pay about $10 to get in and then you can stuff your face as much as you want.) I'll be going to that with a friend and then going to visit some other friends later to show them pictures of Las Vegas. I'm going to avoid the annual march that the unions have though.

Yay 3 day weekend. Stuffing your face sounds fun too

John, did you eat all the bagels?

Nope, just one. But it looks like someone polished off the rest (that was yesterday).

Good morning, All.

Does all of Europe have today off? My friend in the UK is off today, too.
If only I could break into his resistent shell when it comes to belief and the grace that is his. Too many years in Anglican boarding school. He would be a good one....sigh

I don't know about all countries but, it is known as International Workers Day. Here's an excerpt about it from wikipedia.org

International Workers' Day

International Workers' Day (a name used interchangeably with May Day) is the commemoration of the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago, Illinois, and a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. The 1 May date is used because in 1884 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, inspired by labor's 1872 success in Canada, demanded an eight-hour workday in the United States to come in effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in a general strike and the riot in Chicago of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday...

The Red Scare periods ended May Day as a mass holiday in the United States, a phenomenon which can be seen as somewhat ironic given that May Day originated in Chicago. Meanwhile, in countries other than the United States and United Kingdom, resident working classes fought hard to make May Day an official governmentally-sanctioned holiday, efforts which eventually largely succeeded. For this reason, May Day in most of the world today is marked by huge street rallies of workers led by their trade unions and various large socialist and communist parties — a phenomenon not generally seen in the U.S. (which has a history of strong anti-communism) or the UK.
