Labor Day Weekend

It was the lazy life this weekend. I had been apprehending the crowds and the traffic one would expect on a big holiday such as Labor Day, even if not as infernal as the Fourth of July, but it was finally kind of quiet around our neighbourhood. Sure, there were people down on the beach, there were big sun shades with tables and drinks, and there were people doing barbicues, but there were no mobs.

The big disappointment was that the Aquatic Center was closed, so there were no boat rentals possible. We had sort of planned to go sailing at least once or twice over the weekend. Well, we were down to the beach, did some boogie boarding (mostly me), and we made that bike ride. We also took advantage of a Labor Day sale to buy a DVD player to hook up to our TV. Sofar we've been watching movies on my computer screen, but this is much nicer. We got an OK deal on the DVD player, although apparently the labor day sale really ended on saturday, that is two days before the actual LD. That is something to know for next time ...
