Why Was Six Afraid of Seven?

… because seven ate nine. (aka “seven, eight, nine.”)

Today is my birthday. It’s not a milestone year for me. Instead, this one is just another, in-between age, bringing me a little closer to the time when I plan to stop counting them. However, my birthday is special this year for another reason.

Check out the post date and time on this blog entry. 4:56 a.m. on July 8, 2009. In other words, this blog posted at exactly 4,5,6,7,8,9. Isn’t that fantastic? Numeric interest and chronological perfection happen to fall on my birthday this year. I wish all of my readers a happy day on my birthday. You can COUNT on it! (My apologies, I couldn’t resist the pun).
