The Great Escape to Band Camp (Year #15)

Everyone who knows me knows how important music is in my life.  And, on the 189th day of 2018, music provided a great escape for us.  A moving service at Old First on the morning of 7/8/18 brought me to tears (in a good way) at the end.  And then, our kids got to escape to Penn Band Camp.  I love that social media allows for us to watch and hear them rehearse and, they sounded so good (especially since it was the first day).  This is the 15th year of Penn Band Camp, so 15 will be our number of the day.  And, since they played the Great Escape March and music provided an escape from the craziness of the world, today, let's listed to an amazing brass band play the Great Escape March!

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
