If it weren’t for church on Sunday, and The Old Men of the Mountain on Tuesday, this scribe would not know what day of the week it was.

On Tuesday, Sept. 5, the school routine was already is in place in many institutions of learning.  

On these waning days of a continual spring (there was no real summer), it was Tuesday, Aug.

It is strange how, as we get older, the Old Men of the Mountain complain that the years go by so fast, yet at times, a day seems to last forever.

It was Aug. 15, and The Old Men of the Mountain met at the Middleburgh Diner in Middleburgh and for some reason the OMOTM arrived at the restaurant in dribs and drabs.

The Old Men of the Mountain met at Kim’s West Winds in Preston Hollow on Tuesday, Aug. 8.

Tuesday was the first of August and, as we said before, the summer goes so fast, and winter takes forever — except, of course, for the ski enthusiasts.

Again through the fog, the drizzle, and the rain, it was a dreary Tuesday morning, July 25. Still, through the mist, the Old Men of the Mountain met at the Home Front Café in Altamont.

Tuesday, July 18, and the summer (and some say, “What summer?”) is flying by.

The Old Men of the Mountain were considering starting a petition to change the name of the third day of the week from Tuesday to OMOTMday.
