Sleigh Ride with 3,150 riders

The Evening of the 356th day of 2018 found us in Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center.  On 12/22/18, we had tickets to the Philadelphia Orchestra's presentation of The Glorious Sound of Christmas.  It was the perfect combination of fine musical performance, humor, and holiday magic.  We enjoyed the performance with a capacity (3,150) crowd.  My favorite number was the old chestnut (not roasting on an open fire), Sleigh Ride from Leroy Anderson.  Watching the auxiliary percussion players having fun playing this song made me smile ear to ear!  The number of the day will be that capacity crowd inspired 3,150.  And the second Leroy Anderson song in 12 days will be our song.

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
