It's all relative

Today's actual date: 10 November 2019*.
The date based on the weather: late March/early April
The date according to my brain: simultaneously January of 2019 (how have we made it to NOVEMBER already?) and December (bring on Christmas)
The date it should be based on election stuff: at least June 2020.
The date according to my feelings: 1985, 2019,  and 2050.**
The date according to how people are behaving, depending on who you ask: hmmmmm. Maybe 66 million BCE? Or 200 BCE? Or 70 AD? Or 1800s? Or 1900s? As a world religions professor once said, "People are people wherever [and whenever!] you find them."
The date according to the coptic calendar: 30 Babah 1736.
The date according to Batman: Same bat day, same bat month, same bat year. Ha ha.
The date in Roman numerals: MMXIX. Or would it be X-XI-MMXIX?***

Whatever you feel like the date is, I hope you it's a good one.


*Or November 10, 2019. Or 2019 November 10. Depending. 
**I know. These aren't complete dates. 
***Or XI-X-MMXIX, etc. Or, wait. Wouldn't we use the Julian calendar, in which case it would be 10 October 2019, so XXIX-X-MMXIX? So glad we don't use Roman numerals for this stuff anymore.
