Tuesday Time Off

Puzzled by my plan, a young neighbor asked me, “Why Tuesdays? Why not Fridays?”  Easy: I prefer Tuesday.  Slow to understand, my best senior friend needed details.  To make it a bit believable, I told him, “Tuesdays through July are my days off for personal business.”  ( It should go without saying, I’m thinking, “Tuesdays with Kay, my adorable wife.”  And Wordsworth’s “bliss of solitude”.)

Simply, time off one day a week for the rest of my life.  Within reason.  Crazy, or what?  Smiling, I like the break-away plan and incomplete sentences.  And what better season to start?  Need I say more?

So, “what do you do in the summertime?”
