One of Those Days

Well, now, as you are probably more than well aware, today is one of those days. They seem to be happening with increasing regularity these days. It is almost as if the world is conspiring against us, eventually, to turn every day into one of those days.

Of course, back in the good old days, any day that was one of those days was regarded as something exceptional, unusual, something to be remarked upon, something to take notice of. Now though, when it seems at least every other day turns out to be one of those days, it is getting to the point where to even remark upon the fact that today, of all days, is turning out to be one of those days, does start to seem superfluous. After all, we rarely remark upon the fact that the sun rises in the morning, or that the sky is above the ground, because that is the way that it always is. Therefore, to remark upon it would become such a matter of stating the obvious that even a MSM opinion columnist would think twice about making an article from it… maybe.

Consequently, it seems that it soon will become the case that rather than remarking on the fact that today seems to be turning into one of those days, in the very near future we will only make such comments when – after all - it turns out to be that today wasn’t one of those days after all.
