When I think of Labor Day, apart from a day off work, I think of the end of the summer. The end of the evenings when you actually get to witness dusk, when everyone is done with the summer vacations and kids go back to school. From here on out, the days get shorter and colder and fall rolls steadfastly into winter, Halloween into Christmas. You get up and go to work in the dark and drive home as the sun sets.
