Today I turn 73 years old! My tie celebrates my ties -- it features a cascading image of ties hanging in my closet. I have five rotating racks of ties, and five times 73 equals 365, which is approximately the total number of ties in my collection! For breakfast I had a free bagel sandwich from Berea's Native Bagel Company. Besides spending the day with Beth I will get to enjoy dinner with Ben, Amanda and my grandchildren!
The number 73 is famous for being a "Sheldon prime", a rare mathematical coincidence popularized by the character Sheldon Cooper on the TV show The Big Bang Theory, where it is the 21st prime number, its reverse 37 is the 12th prime, and the product of its digits (7 × 3) equals 21.
