So, today is the 11th of March. Which, to due South watchers, is a day with meaning. Ish.
So why did my mother write me yesterday to wish me a happy early March 11th and to say that she would buy my parking permit for me in celebration? See, she literally wrote this: "Happy March 11 (tomorrow). My March 11 gift to you is to buy the *&$&# permit (nervy of them!) and you don't owe me. :-D"
Is there a secret real holiday today? Was my mom just being cute? Is this all part of her secret obsession with the number "11"? Perhaps she watches due South without telling Tessa or me, just so that at opportune moments she can sneak in a reference to the show and confuse us.
Oh, yeah, and:
They have called this day the Eleventh of March! And whomsoever of you gets through this day, unless you are shot in the head or somehow slain, you will stand at tiptoe when e'er you hear the name again, and you will get excited at the name March the Eleventh!
We happy few, we few, we band of brothers. Our names will be as like household names. And those who are not here, be they sleeping or doing something else, they will feel themselves... sort of crappy. Because they are not here to... to join the fight, on this day, the Eleventh of March!
