1-2-3-4-5-6 OR WHEN COMES SUCH ANOTHER

S.E. Hinton wrote two great adolescent novels. One was The Outsiders. The other That was Then, This is Now. Not as good as the first by the 17 year old girl, yup, S. E. stands for Susan Elizabeth. Shocking to me that any young lady would understand the workings of a teenage boy's mind, but she did in her two novels.

Well, so what does that have to do with anything? I wanted to give my faithful readers a head's up for tomorrow. Just to keep you on the cutting edge. Twice tomorrow, at least once for the rest of the world, the time and date will be 1:23/4/5/6. How cool is that? So for the purists to witness, set your alarms for 1:23 am to live part of numerical history. If you don't care that 1:23 pm is really 13:23, then don't set your alarm. But don't miss it either.

So why is it important? I don't know. I'm always sharing with my wife when I notice the time is 12:34 on a digital clock and tell her it's the coolest time of the day. She used to give me that "Big Deal" look, then it morphed into "What's up with him?" to now "It's just a phase." This, from the same woman who reminds me that "Today isCharles Spencer Sulser's birthday," an obscure person from her high school days when some desperate teacher had them memorize classmates' birthdays.

But I think even C.S.Sulser would appreciate 1-2-3-4-5-6. Enjoy the day. It's special.
