Hey, with all you've been thru this week, it's probably the least we
could do! All for QI'lop on July 27?
(I *still* think March 17 is good for Union day, but alas, the 3^3
argument is a strong one. Probably Klingon months have 9-day weeks and
27-day months? And say, 9 27-day months, with the remaining 45 or so
days assigned to ?maqtaq (Mayday?).... That is if you *really* want a
ternary based system that would remain linked to the Klingon solar
year.... Hmmm. methinks I see a resemblance to the ancient Roman
calendar with 10 lunar months with the remaining days counted
sequentially until the new year on March 1 (at one time on the spring
equinox....)
