February 17th At This Blog

Last year I did not post on February 17th. (On the 19th I posted about a great time I had emceeing and performing in the Five Towns with Stu Trivax and Richie Gold).

On February 17, 2010 I posted what kids wrote (for 4 points because the test questions totaled 96) that they learned in my class for life.

On February 17, 2009 I did not post. (Though on the 18th I posted a nice 60 minutes piece on Sully the heroic pilot.)

On this date in 2008 I wrote (in part) poetically about blogging and Havel Havalim:

Blog Spot
So many writers,
so many souls,
so many secrets
holed up
inside.


So many lifetimes,
so many rides,
so much music
from deep
inside.

So many things
so much pain
so much soil
begging rain
inside.

On February 17, 2007 I didn't post, but on the 16th I wrote on this week's Parsha - Parshat Mishpatim! I forgot to name it.

In 2006, on February 17, I wrote about things I've overheard.

In 2005, on this date, I recall sitting in my office and taking a breathing break to post about Billy Crystal.
