James Thruber's There's an Owl in My Room" has renewed, no-rekindled my passion for writing. That a pidgeon is a pidgeon and nothing more, never was, and never more is is the most exciting description of such a thing that can elicit no excitement, as a pidgeon cannot.

To think of bored walls, sneaky creeping pipes, and tired, yawning chimneys as having more emotion than the emotionless pidgeon:

this is the htought that I wish to convey.

The Order of Things Year, Month, Day

Over the last year or so, and maybe the last wo years (or so) I've realized the way people write dates - at least here in teh U.S. are senseless and arbitrary, as opposed, say to the way people write dates in the UK.

I disclaim expert knowledge on teh way the UK, rather the people there write their dates. I don't know if they use slashes or dashes or dots or some other symbol symbolic of the difference between a year and a non-year. But I know (and this is most important because rarely do we, you or especially I KNOW anything; therefore I will, using the word "typically", temper my claim of knowledge) I know that typically our United European counterparts order their date by magnitude, offering first the year, and then the month, and finally the day.

Now let me explain why this order is so important, and then let me explain why this order is superior to that of the dates in the United States (those written by us, the United Statesians).

The first is that the UK's date writers respect magnitude, and the largest which contrary to those who advocate small is advocted by those who advocate big.

Everyone wants bigger. Biggercars. Bigger paychecks. Bigger tumors... or maybe bigger healths, which actually promotes smaller tumors. And bigger paychecks equals smaller impoverishment. Bigger Cars... well what small comes of it isn't immediately clear to me, but I'm certain something developes regardlesss the size.

Anyway a year, by its size seems nautrall fit as first. A month, a dozenth in degree smaller than the annual auxilary. The day bing most dimminuitive (sp?) of the date's parts, trails comfortably at the tail end.

Yet the U.S. has chosen to ignore magnituede, for why I do not know. Imagine:

Every month looks like every other month regardless the year containing it. The 31st appears seven times a year. So why would either appear first? [Why, it's an ascending/descending sort's nightmare!]

The year 2011 in one January will not be in the foollowing January. Now will it be in the previous January. It will only be in the January it is in. It is so distinguised from its counterparts, the monthy and day, it must rightfully lead the date.

So that is why two years ago, or so, I decided to write dates beginning with the year, folowing with the month, and ending with the day.
