May Day, May Day

I'll take the risk of being dubbed a socialist, a leftist, a commie even, and I wish you a pleasant celebration on this year's sunniest spring day. Happy May Day!*

*This holiday is not to be confused with the American version, known as Labor Day, occurring on the first Monday in September of each year. Despite (or maybe because of) history of May Day celebrations following the 1866 Haymarket Affair, May 1st is no longer a national holiday. I will not be protesting nor participating in any kind of strikes (for tomorrow is Saturday, my day off). Instead, I will be following a May tradition of my own, basking in the sun and enjoying my friends' company. Whatever your political beliefs may be, forget them all tomorrow and remember that we're all workers - from students, to stay-home moms - and we slave all week so we can loosen up on those glorious weekends.
