The Concept of Second Tuesday

by Skip Cohen

I know it's mostly psychological, but Mondays just always seem tougher than the rest of the week, and it's not because we're always coming off of great weekends. It's like the "full-moon madness" you hear about in doctor's offices when all the crazy things happen.

Yesterday was one of those days; everywhere we turned, something unexpected interrupted the day. It was a Murphy's Law kind of day, and remember, Murphy was an optimist. So, Sheila and I started laughing when I suggested Mondays should be canceled. Years ago, we actually talked about the simple solution; let's have two Tuesdays.

And there it is - until further notice, Mondays have been replaced by Tuesday. Again, it's all a head game, but it makes us laugh. Since laughter is clearly the best medicine, if nothing else, we'll go into the day with a better attitude. 

Hey, if you've followed me for even the shortest time, you already know I'm nuts!

​Happy Second Tuesday!
