Let's face it. Fridays have been dismal lately. And looking back on a week has not been an uplifting experience.I woke up and read the newspaper on Monday morning and it was not loaded with dismal, mood-dragging economic woes but rather a front page story on the Folk Festival. That’s because Monday follows a weekend. And thankfully, no Wall Street trading happens on Saturday or Sunday. I felt lighter and had more spring in my step than on Mondays in the recent past.

Monday’s internet news feeds are more about 5 wardrobe must-haves, football victories and upsets and what movie stars wore to what start-studded event. It was the vacuous, empty headed drivel that I have been craving. Who knew this roller coaster economy could turn me against Fridays and into a Monday lover? TGIM. Thank God it's Monday.
