My favorite number is 54.

Why?

I have no idea.

Isn’t that odd?  Most people have a favorite color, I like several. Most people have a reason for their favorite number…I don’t know my reason. I think I can recall a time where I thought “hmmm 54, doesn’t that just sound cool?”, but I am not admitting to something so dorky in writing. 

But what I am willing to admit is…………………..Oh my…oh my…oh my!  Only 12 more followers to go to reach 1,000……..WOW!
