The Perpetual Case Of The Specific Number Viewings

Jan 2:

Noted that while we were watching Deal Or No Deal on New Year’s Day, one of the two contestants picked Case #11. On 01 01!!

In addition, later on in the broadcast, the winning “Beat The Banker” case was Case #1.

Getting harder and harder to escape this recurring number phenomenon, especially 11:11, 1:11, 11 - or simply plain old 1. And for it to happen on New Year’s Day, even weirder, if you ask me.

I am going to take that as an especially good sign for 2009…

Hey, we managed to escape most of the brutally cold weather here in Cowtown while we were away on holidays, but today is going to be a reminder of just how cold Canada can get in the winter. About -30ºC here this morning, colder with the wind chill. I’m going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that our freshly planted tulips are doomed.

Speaking of holidays (which I am doing to get my mind off of my frostbitten kabuki), did I mention yet that the last movie we saw, before we headed off for holidays, was The Heartbreak Kid, starring Ben Stiller, and his dad Jerry?? Funny, movie, and chosen entirely randomly from our remaining inventory of unwatched flickering pictures on the PVR.

The movie just happens to be set in San Francisco, which was where we were off to the next morning. Repetitive number spottings, random previews of our travels – I am beginning to think that I may have been Nostradamus in a past life.

Or at least The Amazing Kreskin…

Chow for now!!
