63: number

When I learned my multiplication tables 7x9 was my favorite product (and it still is). I don't know why. 63 just feels like a number that shouldn't be made out of other numbers, but, obviously, it is.

If I ever ask you to pick a number between one and one hundred, it's very likely I'm thinking of 63.

Aside from being the product of 7 and 9, it is also 79-(7+9). 6+3 = 9

I have a light blue Woodland Soccer t-shirt. It was a rec league jersey from when I played in Middle School. It is #16. A friend of mine from the debate team played on the girls soccer team in the same league and had the exact same jersey. The first time I saw her wearing it and I thought she had stolen my shirt. I often wore that shirt to do a particular skit at a Summer Camp that I used to be affiliated with.

NHL Hockey star Pat LaFontaine wore #16.

Turning 16 did not mark any special rites of passage for me.
