The changing of the guard has nothing on the boy’s monthly tradition and ceremonious changing of the kitchen calendar. Today after the ceremony was complete and the band stopped playing, he noted with great excitement “It’s LABOR DAY!!!!” followed quickly by “Do we get presents?”
Later he followed it up by saying “Labor day is when you get to stay inside your cozy home.” Of course there was good reason to stay indoors..

Hope our friends to the west are doing well. I think all things considered we were very fortunate on this particular storm.
