Heh, yeah, it was fun. Sad that it’ll be a huge battle for her to continue playing baseball…

It’s awesome to be yourself, male or female
BTW, did you read about the little league girl pitcher who struck out all the boys? It was a fun story

Correspondingly, we derive our Fridays from an old proverb, famously uttered by William Jennings Bryan:

We shall not be nailed to a cross of workweeks, for when Spring Break is in the heart, and Spring Break is in the mind, every day is the beginning of a nine-day weekend.

(And the “Monday” in “Monday Review of Stuff” is actually a corruption of “Maundy”,

The word “maundy” comes from the command given by Christ at the Last Supper, that we should love one another.
In Roman Catholic churches the anthem “Mandatum novum do vobis” (”a new commandment I give to you”) would be sung on Maundy Thursday.

and reflects the awe in which the von Bladets were traditionally held, causing the peasantry to treat their aesthetic judgements as commandments (or else).

But the 26 May is an instance of the glorious day of Thor!
Incidentally, it’s our li’l sister’s last day at work today and we, for one, have never seen the two (2) of you in the same place at the same time. Is there something you’re not telling us?
