June 14, 1999

But I noticed that June 14 is a 47. It's 6/14, and if you reverse the digits of fourteen you get forty-one. If you add the six to that, you get... forty-seven!

This was the day I turned 19. My co-workers took me out for dinner and I had two alcoholic drinks (hard lemonades), a new world record for me. I discovered that I become a left-handed librarian when I get tipsy: I feel compelled to read EVERYTHING I see and I tend to wander off to the left, like a plymouth minivan, if I don't pay careful attention to where I'm going.
