The threshold the calendar won't give
Labor Day used to mark the end of something; the retreat calendar is where you go to make a threshold on purpose.
Labor Day is supposed to be a hinge — the unofficial end of summer, the last drive to the lake, the Sunday you finally close the pool. But the marker has come loose. Most schools started weeks ago; the flights this weekend cost a little more than last year and land you somewhere that already smells like fall. The threshold is still printed on the calendar. It just doesn't cross anything anymore.
