"What are Tuesday's for?"

I've heard it asked; "what are Tuesday's for?" My brother, who I often have strange but highly amusing conversations with, explains the reason for the question thus: "Monday's are the beginning of the working week and rightly loathed, Wednesday's are the middle of the week. When you reach Thursday you know that tomorrow will at some point be the beginning of the weekend. Friday is the last working day of the week and finally Saturday and Sunday are an amalgam of cricket, football, beer and hangovers. (Not necessarily in that order). Tuesday's just have no purpose."
We both agree that the world would be a far more sensible place with a 3 day weekend and therefore a tidy resolution to the problem of Tuesday. Until such an era begins, I'm stuck with a day in the week that doesn't fit.
Up until now today was one of those days. Work drifted by as is it's wont. However this particular Tuesday, right this minute, became the day and time that I began this blog. I'm about to go and watch the second innings of the West Indies vs Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup. Who knows I might have beer?
This Tuesday is rapidly sounding like a weekend. The beginning of a new era perhaps?
