Labor Day Sneaked By Me Again

The air still feels like hot mud, but it's getting dark so much earlier now. One of my best friends had her first child last week. Won't be long before Orion is rising in the cold sky. And I'll remember the night I first saw him, more than fifty years ago, walking home from the Congress Theater on St. John's Place on a Monday night with my father after seeing a Three Stooges comedy (he and I were the only ones in the family who appreciated them....).
