03/03/03

This is the date of threes. If you don't believe in four-digit years, that is. This is one day when the Age of Confusion does not apply. There is no confusing 03/03/03. Everything is threes. Furthermore, this is a new moon, so it is the beginning of an intercalary month, 5763 Veadar 1 (March 5) in the Jewish calendar, and also on March 5, the beginning of the year 1424 of the Hegira of the Muslim calendar. So people think something is going to happen today. The only thing of significance that could have happened today is a war on Iraq; in fact, new moon is the ideal time to start a war - at night. But diplomatic difficulties are bogging this down. It will be interesting to see what happens. For when I wake up tomorrow, I know I will have to March 4th to work.
