Devotion #4

No one else is working. Why should we?

Then again, I’m always working. But today, stuffing myself stupid with barbecued ribs and cherry Kool-Aid takes precedence over the usual posting. So I’ve dug a little deeper this week for some Labor Day-centric treats. They’re just a few work-related extras to keep you company when you’re back in the office doing non-work-related things.

Have a healthy and happy Labor Day. And enjoy the time off, for tomorrow we start anew – word to Kool Moe Dee.
