It is likely that the name "Good Friday" came from the earlier English name, "Godes Friday," meaning "God's Friday." In much the same way as "God be with ye" was shortened to "goodbye," so did "Godes Friday" become "Good Friday."
They go on to list other names for this day, including:
- Big Friday (Israel)
- Karfreitag (Friday of Lamentation, Germany)
- Great Friday (Eastern Europe)
- Holy Friday (Latin America, France, and others)
- Long Friday (Denmark and Scandinavia)
- Jesus' Crucifixation Day (China)
and, my favourite

Have a safe flight Al! It's breezy here, so use your judgement on what jacket to wear.

Happy Birthday, Leo. I shall impart to you the lessons I have learned today, in the hopes that they may come in handy for you in the future:
- Being sick the day of an anatomy lab exam and an interview about third-year clerkship is bad (although I may have scored points by insisting on not shaking the doctors' hands.)
- Formalin aromatherapy does not cure the common cold.
- Despite the most vehement insistence of my subconscious, there is no standardized physical exam for assessing whether or not a patient is capable of self-driven flight (darn.)
Go forth and spread the wisdom, my friend!

No snow yet, just a lot of rain. So bring a really good umbrella, layers, and a warm jacket in case it does snow. If it rains, it'll be a wet cold and really windy. We'll be bussing and walking around O-town, so be prepared!
