It’s good to be FRIDAY

St. Vitus’ Day (Serbian: Vidovdan) is celebrated on June 28th. It marks a 14th-century battle that has become an important part of Serb ethnic and national identity. Vidovdan is celebrated as a slava (feast day) in Serbia, though it is a working day.

The Serbian Orthodox Church designates it as a memorial day to Saint Prince Lazar and the Serbian holy martyrs who fell during the Battle of Kosovo against the Ottoman Empire in 1389. The Battle of Kosovo took place on St. Vitus’ Day (June 15th in the Julian calendar) 1389 between an army led by the Serbian Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović and an invading army of the Ottoman Empire.

While the Ottomans suffered huge losses, they eliminated all of Prince Lazar’s forces. This led to Ottoman control in the region which lasted for several centuries.

Resume

Bada Bing!

I bought a can of fly spray and sprayed it all over me. I still can’t fly.

When you have more than one kid, it’s important to take them out separately for ice cream sometimes. They get important one on one time, and you get more ice cream.

Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.

I got my paycheck and the envelope was full of parsley. Somebody garnished my wages.

My life feels like a test I didn’t study for.

1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.

2. To me, “drink responsibly” means don’t spill it.

3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.

4. It’s the start of a brand new day, and I’m off like a herd of turtles.

5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.

6. When I say, “The other day,” I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.

7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.

8. I had my patience tested. I’m negative.

9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn’t fit any of your containers.

10. If you’re sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, “Did you bring the money?”

Oh! It must be MONDAY!

Some advice to start the week…

To convert from mile to feet, remember "5 tomatoes". It sounds like 5-2-8-0, the amount of feet in a mile. Cool, huh? To convert from kilometers to meters, you remember 1000 because it wasn't invented by a drunken lobster.

Spelling….

On this day in 1977, The Eagles released their title track from their album of the same name.
