Band on the Run (39 times)

I met my wife in the Band at Penn, so it's pretty evident that instrumental music is pretty important to me.  This is why, even before my kids played in the OPS Band Program, Sarah and I have been sitting in at the concerts, providing low brass support to the Elementary and Junior High Bands. The 137th day of 2018 was no exception and, by my estimation, this was the 39th time I have played with the Band(s) at OPS.  And, we have two Promotion Ceremonies coming up in June and it will all be over, as the Middle School will be at Collingswood next year and Alexa and Anna will be in HS.  So I will be spectator and have to get my playing at church and in the Palestra.  That'll still be fun!  For the number of the evening, let's go with 39 for the number of concerts....and, accompanied by a  classic song with the word Band in it from Wings.

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
