With Christmas Eve on Tuesday and Christmas Day and New Year’s Day on Wednesday it’s been very difficult to know what day of the week it really is when you first wake up in bed.

And with the post office closed on two straight Wednesdays our production day at the newspaper has been scrapped.

So with the altered mailing days the calendar has produced a week of Mondays starting with December 20 which was Monday for the December 26 issue since we had to mail it on December 23, which was an actual Monday posing as a Wednesday.

December 27 was a Friday that seemed like a Monday after  being off December 24, 25 and 26.

The January 2 issue had to be mailed on Monday December 30 that seemed like a Wednesday.

Then there was Thursday January 2 that seemed like another Monday after being off January 1 followed by another real Monday January 6.

And just when you thought you have a regular work week, President Biden throws a monkey wrench in the works declaring Thursday, January 9, a federal holiday to honor the late President Jimmy Carter.

The only thing I dislike more than shopping is trying on new clothes.

Case in point.

I got a new pair of jeans for Christmas and didn’t try them on until January 4.

They fit.

I’m not sure the reason why, but it’s high time all the state championship and state runners-up banners that hang in Boney Matthews Fieldhouse either be moved to The Reimer Center or new ones purchased to replace them.

The argument that those banners were won when one gym was open or not doesn’t matter.

What does matter is that those banners were won and the new field house should proudly display them.

The only people that see the championship banners are parents and grandparents of little league cagers.

They need to be on display at The Reimer Center.
