Dear Sunday…
Dear Sunday,
Now that Standard Time lasts only four months out of the year, shouldn’t we think about changing its name?

‘Dear Wednesday…’ coming soon
This time I decided not to procrastinate: ‘Dear Wednesday…’, the next volume in the Love Notes to the Days of the Week series, is under way. I have just finished uploading the PDFs to CreateSpace for review.
I sped things up this time by: (a) starting on it now, instead of next February or March; and (b) doing the ol’ copy-and-paste instead of re-typing the entries. The latter step allowed me to catch typos more quickly.
So! I anticipate being able to proof the thing before the weekend is out. Stay tuned…

Something to keep in mind
In 1987, The Style Council released their third studio album, The Cost of Loving.
The album’s fourth song, ‘Fairy Tales’, is sung using feminine pronouns—clearly referring to Margaret Thatcher, then Prime Minister of the UK—but the first verse of the lyrics is printed as follows:
The giant towers over all
But from close distance he don’t seem that big at all
In fact he’s no more than you or I
Though we give him far more power than his size

Dear Friday…
Dear Friday,
Another day of sun! I hope you’re not trying to fake us out before election day…
