Bombs (Homeruns) Away on 7/12

It was an exciting evening of the 193rd day of 2018.  On 7/12/18 (just as they had on 7/12/17), the Merchantville Mustangs won a game in the NJ State Softball Tournament!  Tonight's game was amazing.  Alexa went 4 for 4 and scored three runs, but Alexa's teammates were also amazing and there were FOUR over the fence Home Runs and two were hit by the same player.  The Mustangs won handily, ten-run ruling Bayonne and lives to play another game Saturday AM!  I almost wanted to pick 111 (in honor of the 11-1 score) but, even though it means leaving a palindrome alone, I think we will honor 7/12 with the number 712 (we need to find SOMEWHERE to play softball on 7/12/19!)  And in deference to the bombs (homeruns) that were hit today, here is a great song from the 80s from the Gap Band.  GO MUSTANGS!

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
