UPside of Life: Celebrating Labor Day and a week away from publishing

It's almost hard to believe it's already the week before Labor Day, isn't it? We here at U.P. Second Wave are planning on celebrating in style--with a visit to a U.P. parade to celebrate and by taking a week away from publishing. Don't worry, we'll be back Sept. 14 with a new edition. Until then, feel free to read this week's stories or dive into our archives for some great reading.
