S1E132 - 20230912 - Tuesday Topics - Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon, and Unions.

September 13, 2023

We have a habit on this program of biting off more than we actually chew. This happened with our last program. We ended up spending a lot of time talking

about going back to school and really did not get to Labor Day. Even though it's a little late, we thought it might be of interest to see what people think of Labor Day as a holiday. Is it something that folks value because of unions? Have you been a member of a union? How did that go for you? Did Labor Day become a day you spent watching telethons for folks with disabilities? Probably the most famous one was the one done by Jerry Lewis! Was Labor Day just the day that heralded the beginning of the pro football season. Were there special family activities that went on on Labor Day? Last week we looked at going back to school. Usually just after Labor Day college semesters used to start. If Labor Day doesn't take all of our time it might be interesting to talk about how ready you were for the college experience. Was the service you received from your college good? How was getting books? Was going to college a little scary? How was living in a dorm? Were your professors understanding and helpful? What was the worst thing about college for you? What was the best thing about college for you? Is college easier or harder today than it ", say, twenty years ago? Why so? Obviously we may well find ourselves going in entirely different directions where post-secondary education is concerned and that's just fine! It also may happen that we will be talking about college on the show that follows this one if our Labor Day and Fall discussion prospers.
