The Wind Beneath My Wings - My Hero #25 (2.25 ERA today!)

5/21/18 is day #141 of 2018.  As with many palindrome days, it did not disappoint.  After some appointments in the AM for the betterment of my physical and mental health and some key errands, we found ourselves at Collingswood High School watching Alexa and her team earn the first playoff win for Collingswood softball since 1985!  Alexa pitched the whole game and only gave up one run in the first inning.  It was such a great game and I am so happy Colls came out on top!  Then, after a short break, she headed out for her Little League team and pitched another 5 innings, and they won 20-3.  12 innings, 4 runs, 2.25 ERA, two wins.  Alexa is my hero, she is exhausted from a virus she has had and yet she showed perseverance and, yes, grit, to fight through and do an excellent job.  The song of the day is the Bette Midler classic, since she is my hero (did I ever tell her that?) and we will go with 2.25 as our number, for her ERA and the 2 games pitched by my #25 (even if the LL number is her more traditional #18)!  GO COLLS, GO MUSTANGS, GO ALEXA and her teams!

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
