Welcome to TV or Not TV where I’m excited for the fall. Every year when Labor Day rolls around I start to get excited. Yes, there is some initial dread because I know that the morning road ways are going to start to swell slightly with the congestion that comes from the freshly school bound (as well as my other working class brethren who’se summer vacations are well behind them). For the admitted TV addict, however, one of the thoughts that can get them through the early days of September is t
Recently I got good reports from two of our regulars on their vacations -- at least the eating part. They are both long but worthwhile.I'm going to start with Hal Laurent's on the week he and his wife spent in Ocean City. I suggest you save it as a reference for a future trip. After all, September and October are two of the nicest months to visit the ocean. Later today or tomorrow: Retired in Elkridge goes west. Here's Hal.

If anything, the end of summer marks the beginning of off-season deals , which we gladly welcome to pocket some extra cash. Keeping tabs on Travelzoo's Twitter feed is a smart way to stay wise to travel di
The Labor Day holiday, the US version of International Workers’ Day , also marks a big transition for most people in the States. When I was a kid, it meant it was time to go back to school. Though now it seems many schools start up way before September, I remember a time when summer vacation went right up through the Labor Day weekend. All the jitters of having a new teacher, a new class, and maybe a new school combines with the excitement of seeing old classmates again and being one year o
