Holy Week

Based on a glance at a calendar, I am fully aware that Genesis notwithstanding, the world seems to have decided that Sunday is the first day of the week. But it can't be if you're talking about a Holy Week. Holy Weeks end on Sunday. Unless you're Seventh Day Adventist... but even a Seventh Day Adventist golfer would agree that this week, The Masters Week at Augusta, ends next Sunday.

Of course I understand that all this Holy Week at Augusta crap is a creation of advertising and the crusty bastards who run Augusta National. These guys are so crusty White Bread that the first Black golfers who played there had to change in the parking lot. (This is perhaps a legend, but when you have a choice between legend and the truth, print the Man who Shot Liberty Valance.) But yet I will watch just about all the televised coverage that I can, with the proviso that I'm switching to Family Guy when it's on, including re-runs.

Don't waste your time on Augusta when the Adventists have much finer celebrations:
