The Addams Family (64 since '64)

It amazes me how some of the staples of our culture were TV shows that did not run for very long at all!  The Addams Family had 64 episodes that ran from 1964 - 1966.  And, yet, it's theme song is iconic and it has spawned a Broadway show and at least two big movies (and a bunch of smaller ones).  3/10/18 was the last day of the Collingswood High School production of the show.  And, on the 69th day of 2018, we attended the closing show and it was inspiring to see students who I have seen in the classroom and on the athletic field, put on an amazing, near-professional show!  I am always inspired by the youth that put on these amazing shows and I am so thankful for the teachers, parents, and administrators that support them in doing so.  THANK YOU ALL!  For the number of the day, we will honor 64 (for the 64 episodes and 1964) and you can guess what the song would be.  Yup!

Et Tu, Brute (since 1599)

The Ides of March.  3/15/18, the 74th day of 2018.  I wanted to have a Caesar Salad all day but, alas, it was not meant to be.  Instead, I figured I would honor Shakespeare and his Julius Caesar play, written in 1599.  So 1599 will be our number, and this strange song about JC will be our song.  Off to bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI24OtN678o

Sugar Cookie Day and 0 unread emails!

Pretty nondescript day on day #190 of 2018.  7/9/18 is also National Sugar Cookie Day.  The only thing notable for me is that I have ZERO unread emails as I head to bed.  So, elated about that small detail, I will present 0 as the number of the day and play this song (about sugar) from the Archies.  Goodnight! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nE2spOw_o

102nd Birthday

The 43rd day pf 2018 marked the anniversary of the birth of a very important person.  And Abraham Lincoln too!  But 2/12/18 would have been the 102nd birthday of Nettie Soskin, my Bubbe.  She was one of the most amazing women I have ever met and she is one of my role models.  And she could cook too!!  <3  So, to honor her, we have the number of the day as 102 and this Stevie Wonder classic as our song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inS9gAgSENE
