sunday is my very favorite day for doing something pointless or absolutely nothing.

not us, but what we might look like if we were minions,
as we share a similar level of excitement about being at the movies

how fun to meet my friend
at 10am at the theater
like skipping school
on a sunday morning
attending the church of film
i bought a coffee
snuck in my breakfast bar
as we walked in
i saw an older couple
and reacted by saying,
“wow, there are other people here!”
their response was to just stare ahead
we continued on to our seats
5 or 6 more people arrived
while we waited for the movie to start
my friend and i caught up
we started bonding with the others near us
talking about how good we all hoped movie would be
how it was funny we were all at such an early movie
talking about the trailers
someone noticed
there was no audio during the movie trailers
thinking it would be taken care of
by the time the film started
we were all in our comfortable recliners
with our snacks, chatting, and feeling a bit decadent
when we realized the audio may never happen
the manager walked in
telling us there was an issue with the sound
something technical…
(try unplugging and plugging it in?))
no one to fix it at 10am on a sunday morning
how quickly the air was let out of our giddy balloon
we lined up still chatting as she refunded us
some walked out with a sunday breakfast of popcorn and drinks
plans suddenly turned
but it was fun while it lasted
and we’ll be back.

my doormat without a sunday paper on it.
—
my very kind paper man
told me to just text him if i was ever missing a paper
he would drive over to deliver it
i love the sunday paper and especially the crossword
love throwing open my door on a sunday morning
the paper patiently waiting for me on my door mat
love opening it
with a fresh cup of steaming coffee
and diving in
but alas
the day came
when it wasn’t there
i sent a gentle text to my paper man
saying there was no sunday paper waiting for me today
he very quickly responded to say –
that is because today is saturday.
ah, i thought.

“time flows in strange ways on sundays.”
haruki murakami
august is the sunday of summer.
-author unknown
if you’re like many of us who grew up in the 60s-70s
you’ll no doubt remember the popular ‘days of the week’ underwear sets
i loved the colors, the names,
the sense of knowing what day it was
without having to be burdened with a real calendar
yet i always wondered one thing about them –
why no ‘sunday’ pair?
what was the possible reason for this?
would god be mad if we wore underwear on sunday?
wouldn’t he be even madder if we didn’t?
i knew my catechism nuns wouldn’t have the answers.
i was left wondering.

in the following scene from ‘when harry met sally’
sally explained the reason behind her latest breakup. great minds…..
HARRY: So how come you broke up with Sheldon?…SALLY: Well, if you must know, it’s because he was very jealous and I had these days of the week underpants.HARRY: [Makes buzzer sound]. I’m sorry. I need a judge’s ruling on this. Days of the week underpants?SALLY: Yes. They had the days of the week on them and I thought they were sort of funny. And then one day Sheldon says to me, “You never wear Sunday.” He’s all suspicious, “Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday?” And I told him and he didn’t believe me.HARRY: What? SALLY: They don’t make Sunday.HARRY: Why not?SALLY: Because of God.
