I think it fills different needs and different purposes depending how it's used. I mean, not all societies that have observed the week have made it into a cycle of work and rest, but that is a primary thing that the seven-day week does for people is it prescribes a regular rhythm of taking off from work.

as we all know and complain about, most of us don't actually really get to take off one or let alone two days work every seven days. But that's one thing that it could do for us. But it does all kinds of other things as well. What interests me is that in the modern American experience of the week from the early 19th century on, it enables us to schedule things.

with friends, with family, and with strangers in certain patterns so that we wind up doing things every seven days or a certain number of times every seven days or at a certain rhythm every 14 days or every 21 or 20.

I mean, there's nothing that we do in patterns of five days or 13 days, but there are all kinds of things that we do in patterns of seven, and that enables us to schedule things with other people.

And the cool thing is that some of those things are very, very general, right? They're communal, they're shared, like all of us do a certain kind of thing on one day of the week. And some of them are very idiosyncratic. You know, your Tuesday and my Tuesday could be super different depending on

what our therapy schedule was, or when our gym was open, or what kinds of sports we like to watch, or whether we had a custody arrangement with a co-parent. There are all these very individualistic things that create our sense of our Tuesday.

I totally share your experience. In some ways, what got me interested in the week was my inability to explain exactly what that feeling was. And the Seinfeld episode to which you refer, if I remember correctly, the only thing that I think is odd about it is it makes Kramer sort of seem unusual or bizarre for thinking that days of the week have a feel.
