If you, like me, are currently on vacation (Obon, in my case) from your more permanent role of being retired, you might like to know:

Today is Wednesday.

Again, that's Wednesday.

All the way until midnight.

Not that I can remember the last time I was awake at midnight, unless it involved a toilet run.

(This message brought to you by Aluminum Cans. Which are recycled on Thursday. Not Wednesday. Which is why the container for them was not put out on the street this morning.)
