The first day is *NOT* the first day of the year, but the *VERY* first 
day *EVER*.  Count from there.  If a year ends on Thursday, the next
year does not start on Sunday, but on Friday.  It doesn't matter if
the calander is messed up or not; all you gotta do is start on the
first day and recite the names, one name for each day, and after 7
days, repeat.
