All play and no work

It seems only appropriate that on Labor Day I do anything but labor. I believe heading to a ball park to take in a game once dubbed America’s Pastime qualifies.

I organized a tailgate and baseball game watch event for the Austin chapter of the Ohio University Alumni Association at the final game of the regular season for the Round Rock Express. The weather forecast is mostly sunny and windy, north to northeast wind at 20-30 mph and a high of 90. That is a very comfortable day in Central Texas in September.

The pre-game tailgate itself will be wonderful: brisket, sausage, turkey, potato salad, cole slaw and beans from The Salt Lick Bar-B-Que. I’m salivating just thinking about it.

A social with friends seems like the perfect way to relax on a holiday that honors the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Yes, take me out to the ballgame!

What do you have planned?
