because I can't. In Virginia, they don't believe in Labor Day. I'll be in the lab doing research and teaching.
To further illustrate my point, when the school (Virginia Tech) decided they needed to give a day off in the Fall semester because they wanted to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a holiday (becuase the fall and spring semesters should have the same number of days), they chose COLUMBUS DAY as the holiday. FREAKING COLUMBUS DAY!!! Oh well, with global warming and all, Columbus Day weather will probably be more like Labor Day weather so I should still be able to grill.
