Numbers

What numbers hold special meaning for you? Consider dates, times, ages, years, or anything else you can count.


2. as in the number 2. I counted 1, 2, 4 as a child. Never did like 3.

911 ... not the date ... rather 5 miserable years of working the emergency lines.

1972. It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. My first trip and first semester in Kansas was charmed.

1964, 1974, 1986, 2003, 2004, 2005... I may be overdue for another bad year. May be why I'm so defensive about some things, especially since 2003 was an echo of 1986.

Age 22. My second birthday party went okay...

Age 3. My first birthday party did not.

My high school friend's birth date. I don't share it because I use it elsewhere.

42. The number of stairs I have to climb. I am fortunate to be able to climb them.

December 1st. A former close friend's birthday. Tends to make me a bit sad now.

100º ... for me a bad fever as my temp runs low. Also, far too hot for me. I grew up where it never got that hot.

The number of places I have visited. Since this changes... that number changes.

28". If that's all the leg room I get on a flight then I'm in trouble.

94. My address as a child.

That should be enough. The first two are relevant. The rest more or less amusing... most days. I only took the stairs twice today.
