So, it is Tuesday. I knew that from almost the first minutes of Fox & Friends, and I am no slouch on details.
\nWiki tells me this is the day occurring after Monday and before Wednesday, which is when I have to do the stupid postcard from the stupid Swamp. There is a lot of stupidity going on here. Trust me on that one.<\/p>\n
According to some commonly used calendars, however, especially in the United States, it is the third day of the week. The English name is derived from the Old English- and I do love the old English- Tiwesd\u00e6g and Mittle AnglishTewesday, meaning “T\u012bw’s Day,” the day of the God of single combat. I have been doing that for more weeks than I like to think of.<\/p>\n
Just ask Jose, Leo and Miguel. They know.<\/p>\n

It struck me, after rising too early on this particular Tuesday (there have been several), that the President said yesterday that he- and others in the White House conference room- would have run to the sound of guns discharged in a schoolhouse, whether armed or not.<\/p>\n
I tried to think of a moment when that moment would come and the decision to go die would present itself and what I would do.<\/p>\n
BTW, ‘Tiw’ was equated with the martial god Mars, and the name of the day is a translation of the Latin dies Martis.<\/p>\n
It is not too much to deal with- it never is, until it is, of course- but I will tell you what, this is as good a Tuesday as it gets.<\/p>\n
I talked to one of the three or four women in my life that I have sincerely offered to marry this morning- not that I am a particularly good catch- but what the hell. Men and women are sure a puzzle aren’t they? And what fun!<\/p>\n
So, thinking about bold plans and great ideas, I found myself energized in ways I have not contemplated in a while.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, I threatened you with the prospect of seeing the mostly complete kitchen.<\/p>\n
Be advised. This crap is not for the faint-hearted.<\/p>\n
