It’s clearly not your fault. The fault, Cassius
notwithstanding, lies with Julius Caesar and his Julian
Calendar, which saddled us with the seven-day week. (The
later Gregorian calendar retained the seven-day week, but
eliminated three leap years, which instantly killed sales of

Dark Ages, and Barry Manilow.)
How did J. Caesar come to inherit a seven-day tradition?
Because, people that go back even further than Larry King
thought there were seven planets. So, here we are in the 21st
century, capable of space travel, caller-ID, and 852 friends on
Facebook, yet, still servile to a calendar designed by people
who thought the moon was a planet and cats might make good
pets!
So, here’s my simple plan. A six-day week. This of course
means that we have to eliminate a day. It’s obvious it can’t
be Saturday or Sunday; no one is going to give up his or her
weekends. Monday is out. How would you start the week?
And, obviously, we need Tuesday to do work we should have
done on Monday. We can’t eliminate Wednesday, that’s hump
day. Thursday is questionable, but useful for regaling office
mates with your golf round on Wednesday. That leaves Friday.
And, let’s face it, when was the last time you really worked on
Friday? The truth is Friday is archaic, antediluvian, disposable
–– the appendix of the calendar body.
With that settled, I’ll be starting my campaign, Lose Friday
and Lose Weight, just as soon as I settle that pesky lawsuit by a AFTER THE HOLIDAYS WITH YOUR FAMILY
