You have probably heard of fat Tuesday. There is a restaurant with said name. Fat Tuesday is also the day you get to eat tons of fatty foods and engage in a bit of gluttony before the commencement of the lent period where you give something up. However, Tuesdays in general are often forgotten.

Monday you get the blues. Wednesdays are hump day and now Thursdays are for nostalgia and throwbacks. Friday, well, who doesn’t look forward to Friday? It’s the end of the work week and at times you can be all decked out in casual attire.  Tuesday, what is there?  It is the day you hate when you actually have a Monday off.

January 14, way back centuries ago in Christian medieval days, was a time to observe the “festorum asinorum”?  It was referred to as the “feast of the ass.”  And, no it wasn’t a celebration of the Kardashian clan. The celebration took flight in France where biblical donkey stories were regaled. I won’t pretend to fully understand what the day of observation is about or its historical roots. I won’t pretend to even care what it was initially about. The title of this day of observation is funny and somehow seems quite apropos to our current times. Maybe this medieval day of observation can be modernized to symbolize the US congress as a whole. Oops, did I state that out loud?

Wondering what to do today at work? Wondering what to make of the upcoming Tuesdays? Find a mascot and celebrate the day of the donkey. I think I already have a few mascots lined up. How about you?
