Tuesdays

Tuesdays more than not suck. In the work week, you are over the get up and go of Monday and know that there are so many days left until the weekend. In any industry or other profession, things that may have gone wrong in the past week will wait and surface on Tuesday.

Is it because the Greeks deemed Tuesday unlucky as on that day was the "Fall of Constantinople"? In the Spanish speaking world an old proverb translates to "On Tuesday never get married or begin a journey". In both cultures if the 13th of the month falls on Tuesday, it is extremely unlucky. However, in Judaism Tuesday is considered a lucky day as the first chapter of Genesis proclaims that the day as good twice.

Black Tuesday was 10/29/29 thus beginning "The Great Depression". Tuesday is the day for elections in the US. It has been so for Presidential elections since 1845, 1875 for the House of Representatives and 1914 for the Senate. "Super Tuesday" is the day for Presidential primaries.

September 11, 2001 was on a Tuesday.

To help us get through Tuesday in the US and Canada videos and audios are released. However, I can't recall a single favorite TV show that was on Tuesday night. Plus, it is the slowest night of the week for restaurants not to mention other forms of entertainment.

One of the greatest events of my life happened on Tuesday. My Son was born. I suppose that should cancel out my disdain for this day. My most current Tuesday as I look back may have been mild but it was the "T Day". As I turned on the hose to water my flowers, a leak that wasn't there on Monday came to life and completely soaked me. In a collage of pictures hanging on my wall, one falls taking the rest with it. A squirrel decided it was a good day to try to ruin my potted plants.

For me, Tuesday is not the best day of the week.
