If you use your day timer as I use mine, you need to be reminded, from time to time, what day of the week on which certain important days occur. This is so, for example, that you don’t schedule a proposal due date on MLK Day (I have NO other comment about THAT day.) You may want to know that Christmas is on Saturday this year. You may not give a rat’s patootie that the contrived holiday of Kwanzaa begins on Sunday this year. July 4th is also on Sunday.

Government workers are especially concerned about these days of the week because they will then know whether to call in sick on Thursday… or Tuesday to extend their compensating Friday or Monday off. (I can explain this phenomenon in depth for you civilians.) Military and civilians don’t get Veterans Day off.

and to wander into a different, but related venue…

As for the Islamic holidays - while in Baghdad, I noted that there was confusion, derision, and animosity between the Sunnis and the Shiites over those days and the validity thereof. On some occasions I noted that they blew up each others wives and children over the disagreement. One should always consider the celebratory [gun] fire which accompanies these holidays of this peaceful religion.
