Fathers and Sons and Psalm 127: 3-5

We've come to the 168th day of 2018 and 6/17/18 was Father's Day.  I spent the day with my family, so it was a great day.  I also celebrated my own father and fathers in my family and my community.  And, tonight, I would also like those who are sad today (because they lost their fathers or even lost their kids) and those who days like today cause anxiety, stress, and/or sadness to know that they are in my thoughts as well.  For me, I am lucky, Father's Day made me celebrate and be celebrated.  We did not make it to Church this morning (sorry Michael), but I would like to include a scripture today that makes me think of the wonderment of Fatherhood:

Psalm 127:3-5
Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.

So today's number is a long one, 12735, to catalog the scripture.  And, amongst the plethora of songs about fathers is this CLASSIC Cat Stevens song.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

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
