Yeah, but what you said is so true that we do things every Monday. We have a Monday meeting. We have a Tuesday something else. There are a lot of things that fit pretty nicely into that weekly cycle that if you didn't have the week, you wouldn't have the cycle.

I was watching an old Seinfeld episode not long ago, and they were talking about the week and the days of the week and that monday has a feel and tuesday has a feel and saturday has a feel i've always felt that i've always felt that days have a feel and without the week they wouldn't have a feel because everything would be the same

We're talking about The Week, our seven-day week, why we have it, what it does for us, and why it doesn't go away. David Henkin is my guest. He is author of the book The Week, a history of the unnatural rhythms that made us who we are. So David, if you take a moment and imagine life without a week, it would be so different because we take a week off. We go somewhere for a week.

Was the week always as it is now where there's the work week and then there's the weekend? I remember there was, I don't know why this stuck with me, but there was an episode of Downton Abbey where some people were over at the Abbey and they were talking about the week and somebody said, well, we could do that on the weekend or something. And old lady Grantham says, what's a weekend?
