Thorsday
Based on some comments at various places last week, I've decided to broaden this category to include other members of the Norse Pantheon. This week, Odin (from Wikipedia); next week, Loki.
Silver, I don't think he's always portrayed as one-eyed, but most of the illustrations I've seen, he is. He gave his eye for knowledge. That's why I love him so.
Excellent choice, Lockwood! Can't wait to see Loki - he's great good fun.
@Brian- Yeah, I know, but I only have one Thorsday a week, so the whole pantheon is going to have to learn to share. Not that pantheons generally have ever been very good at that...
Odin, my favorite next to Thor. Is he always one-eyed? Will read the wiki.
