Mostly there are even numbered days this week – four dates that are all multiples of 2: 6/22/14, 6/24/14, 6/26/14, and 6/28/14.

And, the half-back day for this month is today!  Go up 16 from 6 to 22, then come half way back (8) to 14: 6/22/14.

Don’t be bored with all these even number dates in June.  There are only 8 cool dates in all of July!

Once again, even numbers happen every other day, starting tomorrow, 6/16/14.

Besides being all even numbers, Friday 6/20/14 is a Minus Subtract day:  6 – 20 = -14!

This week we have FOUR days that are all even numbers: 6/8,10,12,14/14. 

Plus, today (6/8/14) is an Addition day:  6 + 8 = 14.

And there is a sequence of four embedded in Tuesday’s date-  6 :  10  :  14

In honor of the French Open

 

My first girlfriend was a tennis player, but then she broke my heart.  It was like love meant nothing to her.

 

Welcome to June.

Every other day this week contains all multiples of two – even numbers.  Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are 6/2/14, 6/4/14, and 6/6/14.

And, Friday is also the obscure gravity day, honoring the constant G = 6.672 x 10 to the 11^th power.

Sorry, no cool dates this week, but do you know where the term “Square” of a number comes from?

Check out the following square of numbers:

7    7    7    7

5    5    5    7

3    3    5    7

1    3    5    7 

 

1    2    3    4

 

The squares of the numbers in the row set apart: 1×1 = 1;  2×2 = 4;  3×3 = 9;  4×4 = 16

 

Look at the bottom row in the square: 

1  = 1 = 1×1

1 + 3  = 4 = 2×2

1 + 3 + 5  = 9  = 3×3

1 + 3 + 5 + 7  = 16 = 4×4

 

What’s the number in the next row and column of the square?    (9)

What’s the next sum in the bottom row of the (larger) square?    (1+2+3+4+5 = 25 = 5×5)

What is today’s date?  5/25

 

There are a couple of interesting dates this week.

Monday is a “Minus Subtract” day because 5 – 19 = -14

And Friday (5/23/14) is this month’s “Halfback” day.  Go up 18 from 5 to 23, then come halfway (9) back from 23 to 14.

I don’t have any cool dates on my calendar for this year, but I can punt.

Today is Mother’s Day! We can celebrate even without great numbers.

 

Five and Fourteen don’t get along very well.  Come back next year because 5 and 15 have a great relationship!

5/11/14 through 5/17/14:  11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17… each is one number larger than the previous!

And 5/15 is the Ides of May.  Some Roman or Greek or somebody was probably assassinated that day, although it is not as popular as the Ides of March.

Today is a great day for Star Wars fans – May the Fourth be with you!

Tomorrow is El Cinco de Mayo, a famous holiday in Mexico and my half-birthday!

And Friday 5/9/14 is an addition day, since 5 + 9 = 14!

The last two All-Even days for April occur this week – Monday, 4/28/14 and Wednesday, 4/30/14.

That’s it.

Next week May brings humorous days, so tune in next Sunday!
