Today is 09-09-09

10 years ago I was working in the VA hospital in San Francisco on the medical service. There was an elderly male Vet under my care who was a bit paranoid. After several days working together he asked me whose side I was on and who was I working for and I hesitated just a moment before replying and he grinned, pointed at me and nodded as if to say "Aha! I gotcha." On 09-09-99 I walked in to his room and in my cheeriest voice announced "Did you know that it's 9-9-99 today?" He snarled "Well good for you" to me and that was that. Happy 9-9-09 to you dear little Vet, wherever you are.
