11/11/11

Today is 11/11/11. I know last year contained a 10/10/10 and next year will have 12/12/12, but there is something extra special about today. My baby brother, The Professor, always used to get all excited when 11:11 would appear on the clock. He used to say that you had to stop, close your eyes, and make a wish. This used to irritate me no end since it was nothing but superstitious nonsense. Now that I am so much older and wiser, I leave room for all kinds of possibilities. Today on 11/11/11 at 11:11 (both?) be sure to make an extra good (big?) wish. If nothing else it will make you smile just to think of the object of your desire. Good luck!
