Days of the week are helpful.  Sundays are good, but I like Saturday. Sometimes I’ll write down a day of the week and wonder why it’s spelled that way.  “Wednesday” is the hardest day to spell.  Sundays are good for pro football, but now football season’s over.  People like watching football.  It’s so much colder in winter.  It would be nice if we could have some warm spring days mixed in the middle of winter to even things out a little.  I have a watch that tells me the time, except when the battery dies.  Everything dies.  That’s why I keep a spare watch battery Why is a AAA battery smaller than a AA battery?
