Happy Boxing Day (since 1830), Rocky!

The 360th day of 2018 is Boxing Day.  The Second Day of Christmas, 12/26/18, was not filled with us giving or getting any boxes of gifts, but it was a gift to have a relaxing day at home.  Some errands were completed and a basketball practice was attended, but most of the day was chilling, relaxing, watching TV, hanging with friends, and family time.  The time between Christmas and New Years, and having off of work, is one of the larger gifts of working in Higher Ed.  For today, 1830 will be our number of the day, since it was in the 1830s that Boxing Day started to be observed.  And, for our song, we will roll with the other reference to boxing and a Philly hero who is gonna fly now!

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
