Maybe I will do something shorter than restaurants.

It will take too long to describe them.

I have been given ideas by mah peeps (especially Mom, thanks Mom!) for things to list, which is cheerful.

This week we will do Days of the Weeks, origins of, a reprise of a past post...if I remember right.

Sunday is, well, Sunday. Monday is Moon day. In Spanish they are domingo (they are not capitalized in Spanish, and neither are the names of months), which I do not know the exact meaning of, but which has the same root as domine and probably means the Lord's Day, and lunes, which is Moon Day (luna=moon) again. We will see that the English names are all pagan, whereas the Spanish are 5/7s pagan. I do not know if there is any lesson to be drawn from that, except that we name days for odd stuff.
