Day 6 (16.2%)

Happy Birthday to our granddaughter Eliana!

My brain must have gone on holiday last Friday when I mentioned Simmie and Ronen’s anniversary but failed to wear the corresponding t-shirt. I was going to correct that today, but hearing all the news about the impending solar eclipse I had to change gears when I remembered that I had an old James Taylor t-shirt from his 1991 album, “New Moon Shine.”

So, tomorrow, I will return to the summer of 2002 for a the trip down memory lane.

My friend Ellen raised an interesting question: should I be counting the days from 1 up to 37, or from 37 down to 1? There are arguments about this concept in Jewish tradition, but as is done for Chanukah, when we start with one candle and make our way to 8, or for the “Omer,” the daily count of the 49 days (7 weeks) from the second day of Pesach to the holiday of Shavuot, I am following the tradition of counting “up.”

And finally, the song for Day 6.
