Tiger! (First Win in 1,876 days!)

Many sports things happened for the first time in a long time on the 266th day of 2018.  We sat out in the rain for about 6 hours watching three softball tournament games (I guess friendlies do not get rained out....sigh), we watched Carson Wentz return to the field in an NFL game after 9 months of waiting, we saw someone run for 100+ yards for the Seahawks for the first time since 2016 and we're now watching the Lions game, where their RB is 14 yards away from running for 100 yards for the first time since Thanksgiving 2013!  BUT, on 9/23/18, Tiger Wood won on the PGA Tour for the first time in 1,876 days.  I am not OK with the stupid things Tiger has done in his past and his petulance, at times, has grated on me.  But, frankly, he has also been subject to excess criticism and review....and people have claimed he'd never win again.  So I am hoping he has learned from his mistakes and I am hoping this is a redemptive event for him.  So the number of the day will be 1,876 AND we will listed to Survivor sing about the eye of the tiger (of The Tiger??)  Goodnight!

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
