From 1971 onwards the Memorial Day holiday was officially observed on the last Monday in May and became the unofficial start of the summer with barbecues blockbuster movie openings and mattress sales.

You should never have to say hello or goodbye. Even at work sometimes and I know this is very unpopular is that if I'm going to work every single day I don't think you should have to hug people hello every single day when you come to work. I saw you Monday!

Monday Night Football started in 1970 and when it started it was something extremely special because sports had not been aired in prime time. So it was a novelty and a lot of people thought it wouldn't work and of course it worked spectacularly well.

The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends I'd be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.

Our systems are all go. At 9:30 Monday morning trading will resume on both markets and the message will be given to criminals who foisted this on America that they lost.

I owed Lewis one thing at least. Once you had suffered the experience of presenting a case at one of his Monday morning conferences no other public appearance whether on radio TV or the lecture platform could hold any terrors for you.

I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid so yes I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age... with all that experience how can it be that on a Monday morning you are useless?

When I wake up on a Monday morning and I realise I don't have to go and work at the civil service I really think I've won.

I think my real depressions started when I was about 16 and doing The Patty Duke Show. I would go to bed at about 10 o'clock on a Friday night and not get up again until 6:30 Monday morning.

Training is full-on. Some days I really don't want to get out of bed and hit that track again. Sunday and Monday morning sessions are always horrible. But who really looks forward to going to work on a Monday morning?

I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people's faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.

On Monday mornings I am dedicated to the proposition that all men are created jerks.

My daughter the one who lives nearby is raising her children to be very much aware. We went on a nature walk on Monday I'm learning so much from her.

To be honest when I'm home every day is a Friday for me. It doesn't really matter what day it is for me. A lot of my friends actually have time off during the week and so it doesn't prohibit me from enjoying myself when I am home on a Monday or a Tuesday.

I was an OK boxer I wasn't great I was OK but I loved the discipline of getting together every Monday Wednesday and Friday usually Saturday afternoons too with a whole bunch of mates and training very very hard for about two-and-half hours.

For most Americans Friday afternoons are filled with positive anticipation of the weekend. In Washington it's where government officials dump stories they want to bury. Good news gets dropped on Monday so bureaucrats can talk about it all week.

I've been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box that He doesn't want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency but He wants to invade your Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday.
