Out of the Blue

Ooops, I'm off by a day! At first I thought today is Good Friday, but now I realize it's actually Maundy Thursday. Sorry for the confusion. Not that this clears up all of it: I have no idea what "maundy" means. I'm on a roll in this regard, as CalmDragon points out I was also way off about Ash Wednesday, which I always incorrectly assume is between Palm and Easter Sundays. Guess I should just stick to holidays I observe... like Super Bowl Sunday.

Bob, wait till you've been with the same one for 14 years, TRUST ME, Like Myself, you would GLADLY trade her for a working automatic transmission for my 74' Pinto.....and a handy from the chick that lives across the street that always leaves her blinds to her trailer open when the maintenance man "fixes her plumbing" on Thursday night *Nods Knowingly*

Happy Good Friday to all who are celebrating. Though actually, most people I know celebrate most Fridays as being pretty good, so we probably have this pretty well covered.


Whaaaa? Guess it's not just me wishing...



It's like the old George Carlin throwaway... "Check his calendar."

In your defense, when you work from home seven days a week, knowing when it's Friday can become a challenge.

You can use the same line tomorrow, and we'll have a second Groundhog Day.

edit:
I have no idea what "maundy" means.

I'd be curious what that is as well.


Maundy. I knew of the foot washing thing but I did not know it was Maundy.
