Lighting the Fourth Candle for Peace (Train)

On the 357th day of 2018, at church, we lit the fourth candle of Advent.  The candle of peace, for all those who believe.  On 12/23/18, I thought about peace a lot.  Conversation with friends who were in Israel recently about the chances of peace in the Middle East.  Thoughts about the family and friends of Spencer, who passed away overnight (or this morning).  I was Spencer's sponsor when he joined Old First and I loved singing with him in the Choir's bass section.  May he rest in peace, and may those who loved him find peace in this troubling news.  There's no denying that peace is the answer to many of life's problems, so I am praying for more peace ALL over, tonight.  I am using the number four for our number of the day, for the number of Advent candles lit today, and a real favorite Cat Stevens song is appropriate as well.  May you all find peace during this holiday season, and throughout the whole year!

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
