This Is Smyrna, TN

Hello Smyrna how the heck are you doing this fine Monday? Not counting the people who work at Nissan who likely will be suffering a long year until final figures are given out on layoffs I hope most of you are having a good day.

I'm an odd critter. I've never suffered from the "Mondays". I enjoy the start of a week. My bad day is almost always Thursday. The day you say "@^$#^#$ I still have another day to go before the delight of a restful weekend". Thursdays suck, Mondays are cool.
