Reclaiming Summer

We've been shortchanged.

Remember when the official summer season lasted until Labor Day?

Then school districts and colleges quietly shaved a day here, a day there, - and suddenly the summer season ended seven to ten days sooner.

Let's reverse the trend. Let's restore the official summer season - plus add a few days here and a few days there.

I propose moving Labor Day to the first Monday before the Post-Summer equinox so that summer ends when summer really ends.

Further, I propose the weeks between Memorial Day and the new Labor Day all be changed to four day work weeks. NOW we're talking, huh? Huh, huh?

Now, to identify the right charismatic front person for the cause. Maybe Matthew McConaughey. He has a considerable number of silver screen credits to his name. He also has a rugged, outdoor, summertime appearance. As for leadership skills... well Motivated Mom says she'd follow him anywhere for any reason.
