Saturday
- I do this, I do that
- come on, it's still early, turn on the TV
- well, maybe a snack
- I'm on Twitter for a moment
- Sunday

Ah, poor Adriano.
I never found Saturdays so annoying, but then I never was "hung over" from various indulgences, or had anything to "repent".
Saturdays were annoying in other ways, of course, but because there was too much to do, not too little, whether I liked it or not: food shopping, errands, and cleaning that couldn't get done Monday-Friday because I was working, and, of course, endless children's sports activities or concerts. The absolute worst was swim practice or meets with my daughter. Sometimes we had to leave at 5:30 in the morning. Sundays were activities again, and massive amounts of cooking for the week ahead.
It wasn't all work, of course, so I don't mean to come off as "woe is me".
We did go out almost all Saturday nights, and some Friday nights, either alone or with friends, or I hosted dinners at our house, or there was a dinner dance at the club. We had a lot of fun all those years. More than one Saturday night I still closed down a Croatian restaurant that became an old fashioned dance hall after 11PM, playing all Italian songs from the pre-WWII years. One night I kept the party going after 2AM by playing the juke box, and when we went home we saw the Manhattan skyline emerge in the dawn. Of course, I don't drink more than a glass of wine or one cocktail, and all the dancing anywhere was done under my husband's eyes.
In retrospect I'd also love to be going to those children's activities again. It was so "pure".
I guess I didn't need a lot of sleep then.
You know, I never was much of a Celentano fan, but with you and Salento posting his songs, I'm undergoing a conversion. He was funny and very, very, charming.
Not funny or charming, but very sad, here's an American song about the morning after.
Sunday Morning Coming Down:
One of my favorite female singers no matter what she sings: About Mondays.
Black Coffee: k.d.lang. I think she's as good a blues singer as any of the greats of the past.
