Re: Prompt #3: Pick a number

54 is my favorite number.

Rodney Rogers’ number, my favorite basketball player of all time. You may remember him for hitting three 3-pointers in nine seconds while playing for the Nuggets.

My birthday is on the 27th. 27 * 2 = 54.

My wife’s number in college was 53. 53 + 1 = 54. I’m the 1 in that equation. My wife thinks this argument is weak and is resentful my favorite number isn’t 53.

And finally, I seem to look at digital clocks when it’s :54 way more than any other time. I’m sure there’s some explanation for this phenomenon.
