Lucky Sevens

Today being Labor Day I committed to doing as little as possible, assuming that was the best way to celebrate. My indolence included not writing a blog post, but in the interest of being the Cal Ripken, Jr. of blogging, here I am after all.

Cal, a former Baltimore Oriole, was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007 for going to work every day. He played in 2,632 consecutive games without a miss. In a freaky coincidence, I started blogging in 2007 and have done so almost every day, except when I was in Haiti two years ago and had no access to a computer.  And get this: Labor Day was started in 1887, there's another 7! This gets weirder and weirder.

And that's today's post.
