This summer, Fort Bliss and El Paso are inviting all Borderland residents .. military and civilian alike ... to dance, party and mingle just in time for Armed Forces Day.
In El Paso, any holiday is cause for a party. If said holiday falls on a weekday, we'll party anyway ... and/or go early. Halloween costume parties especially.
For years, I never honored Labor Day by refusing to labor and going to one of the last backyard/bbq/swim parties of the year. I was usually laboring my butt off.
