MUSING: 8/10, 8.10, Aug 10

Today is August 10th, and although it's not a particularly noteworthy day, it is a date that has stuck in my head for years.

In 1987 it was the first day of my first job in Chicago. The following year it was the date my favorite band was playing [this has happened a few separate years]. Another year it was the day I left for a vacation.

And it's not that something particular happens every year on August 10th, and never that I plan for something to happen on August 10, it's just one of those things where I go "Hm... that's August 10th... there's that date again."

I don't know anything about numerology. I don't have anything against it, I just never had the energy to learn about it. I have a friend who is well versed in it, and perhaps I should ask him. But, like I said, it is not something that is on the forefront of my mind... it's just something that gets noticed every time it comes up.

I wonder sometimes if it is because my birthday is April 10th, so it's more of an A10 thing? Or, April 10 is 4/10 and Aug 10 is 8/10 [the 8 being double the 4]. But I will have to ask Catty what he thinks.

So, Happy August 10th. Hope something noteworthy happens to you today!

well Mintola today is 1 day. it's always good to start new things on a 1 day...doing so will make it a success. and having a new adventure on a 1 day (like your concert) will ensure that it will leave a lasting impression in your memory. 1 days signify there is 1 earth, 1 sun, we have 1 body, 1 God, 1 life to live...(now i got that u2 song in my head.)
