An auspicious date...

Thank you Rob.

I will celebrate with a cup of green tea and try to suspend any thoughts of the arbitrariness of ascribing any natural or supernatural significance to a system completely devised by humans (to the extent that you would include Pope Gregory XIII in that number). Same goes for the Mayan calendar. If they were so bloody advanced as some seem to believe, they would have tazered Cortez and proceeded to gut and strip him of spare parts.

That explains why BigC Extra was quiet this morning.

Auspicious indeed.

My daughter was born on 12/12/91 at Phuket and my son on 12/12/94 in Canberra. That makes them 21 and 18 today respectively. Both big occasions and needless to say, a lot going on at my place today!

(my son will be having his first (legal) beer with his dad shortly .... and his dad is truly looking forward to it).

[meadish_sweetball]

Now THAT's auspicious. All the best to your children on their birthday, Songhua.

Been, gone, and done that! I didn't notice anything special.

Happy celebrations, Songhua!

This is also the last matching triple digit date any of us will ever see (barring any major cybernetic advances of course). The next one won't be until 2101/01/01.

I hope they can do some thing about my arthritis then. Like take a pill and you will be good for another 100.
