I just LOVE numbers when they have a personality. For example, look what message was waiting for  me tonight on the web:

I’ve posted 1-2-3-4 posts to this blog.

Numbers sure have personality. For example, I was at a club meeting, and they were having a raffle. They were Appear? Heck, I can't get RID of him.drawing based on our membership numbers. I was really excited, because it JUST SO HAPPENED that my membership number was my 3-digit LUCKY number.

They guy standing next to me was gob-smacked. “You have a 3-digit lucky number?”

Well, yeh. One-, two-, three-, multi-digit lucky numbers as the occasion calls for.

Doesn’t everyone?

PS No, I didn’t win the raffle. I never do. Maybe I should rethink this lucky number thing.

PPS For the secret message, hover your mouse over the graphic. Or, if you like, visit this blog’s special page, where you can read all 1-2-3-4 posts.
