In Praise of Thursdays

Where I live, the lawn mower's roar wakes me on Thursdays. The neighbor's gardeners come early and are my alarm clock for this day.

Thursdays are Turkey Day at the company cafeteria. For $5 I get an entree and three sides.

...Pay day. When the Direct Deposit hits my bank and there is a "transaction pending" next to my account.

...when they change the security guard over at Little E.'s day care.

...the anchor of my week. Stable, perdictable. I don't need or ask that every day to be like this, but a couple more days like Thursdays would make my week.
