(What follows is the 10-28-02
 Blue Ledger entry on page 106.)

11:11pm just caught me again on
the bedside clock & the wall clock.
-
It has been a curious day.
-
I am finding it harder & harder
to pull myself from my math
endeavors, and I [am] now certain
I have found a connection--which
runs along the natural number
summation sequence--between
where a 3x or greater multiple of
two odd numbers above the
multiplier's square level/ first
appears in a squares' descension &
then appears on level one.  Tonight
I began proving that. . . .

This morning GMA's Gibson was
interviewing that man most responsible
for aiding in the capture of the two 
sniper killers.  I heard Mr. Gibson say
it was 1:17am when (?) at the rest stop.
Approximately at that moment I looked at
the GMA time:  7:17am.
-
Early this morning (to cite one example)
I got out of bed at 1:07am & headed toward
the den restroom.  I returned at 1:17am.
-
And as if that wasn't enough, after
returning from my 11:15 doctor's appt.
and spending some minutes in this den
reorganizing, I said to me:  "I wonder
what time it is?" and immediately
stepped into the living area/ where both
clocks were blithely reading:  12:17pm.
-
  Bet the bets are betsying.
  Guess what percentage of
  the zero readers of this
  believe my story is true.

Urology office visit not pleasant.

Today is All Saints' Day.
I hope I feel up to attending Mass
at 5:30pm at St. Augustine's.
I don't feel up to working
tonight's night audit.
The main auditor will be there for me.
-
It is after 11pm
and I did attend Mass--
about which more some other day.

Not sure why,
but I never mentioned here
my Tuseday night trip to AGH
(I drove there)
and Emergency and IMC (that time)
Had stress test Wednesday morning
instead of the scheduled Thursday.
My heart appears to be ticking well,
but I do have GERD.
-
I still have my hospital band on.

Yes, God,
I'm a nut;
and stupid, stupid, stupid;
but You
have not
abandoned me--
most certainly,
have not.

Yesterday I had a special meeting;
today recalling it I am moved to say:
Blessed be the goodness of God.

Having finished eating a large slice of the stollen
I had just purchased, and feeling it might make me
ill, I began my move from the kitchen back to the
den: all the clocks (there are now three) shone 1:11.

Extremely phycially active day.
Did far more cleaning
than I expected to.

Had big "popcorn" tree
next to home trimmed
by the park maintenance man.

Had place professionally
sprayed and baited.

11 was in there though
at 8:11am and at 5:11pm,
the time I arrived back here
after 2+ hours of shopping, etcetera.
But so was 17--differently.
When I went to get the mail,
I found once again--
this was the third time now
in the last week--
a key for a package box waiting.
Its presence made me 
suddenly aware
the last two were
for package box 17.
I turned the tag over.  17.
-
Also, I have been missing
these numbers by a little
lately, so that especially
12 and 18 have been hit.

Am trying to lessen my
watchfulness for 7 & 11;
however, this morning I
awoke--needing to go to
the restroom--at 3:11;
and then--for the same
reason--awoke again at
4:17.

And, of course,
having finished the above
and moved to page 6
of my number theory meanderings,
and then having decided to stand
and turn to my right,
the den clock smirked
7:11.

There are simply too many
self-fulfilling
expectations.

After writing out 9 checks
and readying them for mailing,
I glanced at the den clock:
10:17am.
