rainy days and Tuesdays
Always felt a little sorry for Tuesday. How would you feel if the nicest thing that was said about you was “at least it’s not _______” ((Monday being the end of that sentence when talking about days of the week)). But then again, identifying ourselves by what we are not, definition by negation, is a valid logical process, neh? Sometimes I just find it easier to color around an object, leaving what I am trying to learn about starkly shown as white space
Anyway today is the 23rd day of the second month, the 54th day of 2016 and:
- Curling is Cool Day
- Diesel Engine Day
- International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day
- National Banana Bread Day
- National Rationalization Day
- Play Tennis Day
- World Spay Day
- World Understanding and Peace Day
- Single Tasking Day
In 303 we head back to the Romans, and the emperor Diocletian ordered the destruction of the Christian church in Nicomedia, beginning eight years of religious persecution.
Interesting how the meaning of the same word changes from adjective to verb to noun, both in meaning and source. I looked up “tender” this morning and realized that while I was thinking of the word in the sense of being sore and then being gentle/loving, the origin of both appears to be the Latin word “tener”. The verb seems also to be from Latin, this one from the word “tendere”, and they both seem to come to us via old French The noun seems to be a more recent, English usage, defining a person who tends. The word seems to be declining in use, and has a slightly archaic flavor when used today.
It is raining really hard hereabouts today. I am very grateful that our temperatures are on the unseasonably warm side because if they weren’t? It would be an epic snowstorm – this is the time of year when we get socked sometimes.
And last but not least, there is an island in Canada that is offering to take American expatriates if Trump somehow manages to become president. It may be a marketing campaign and it is awfully far away from my dream of going to live in Florida [and work for the House of the Mouse], but it sure looks and sounds tempting!
