Today is 10/10 Day or Metric Day or Shift 10 Day or Powers of 10 Day. This information, supplied by my west coast engineer brother, does not excite my very much. I have nothing against 10. Mathematically speaking it's definitely the easiest row in the multiplication tables. I would like to be a perfect 10 as much as the next person and wouldn't mind at all if my savings increased by powers of 10. I'm also very happy when my pressure is a 10 in each eye when checked by my ophthalmologist. That's as close as I've ever come to being a perfect 10, although I do wear size 10 jeans. I'm not thrilled that I will be 80 (a multiple of 10) on my next birthday, although, as some wise person once said, it does beat the alternative, Humm, maybe I'm more excited by 10 than I thought I was.
