column dates

 have noticed several papers dropping Monday editions. One editor inquired today about the appropriate time to run columns labeled for Monday. The answer is to do what works best for you. In my 24 years of doing this, papers have run my columns early, late, not at all, on the front page or two columns in the same edition.
 
I write because I enjoy it and have no objection when you run it or how you change it to make it more readable -- as long as you don't change the meaning. Would it be better to label the columns Mon, Wed and Fri? I try to get them out a day or so ahead of time and can accommodate to any arrangement
 
Please let me know any recommendations you might have.
 
Thanks, Jay
