10/10/10 hype

My friend Ian Fleming (the artist not the dead writer) had this entire 10/10/10 event planned in Belfast today. I hope it went swimmingly (one of the activities was a swim in the Lagan River with a group of regular Irish Sea swimmers [?!!!] called the Frosties) and was enjoyed/appreciated by many people of all ages. Having been alerted to the significance of this date by Ian I was ready for something auspicious to happen to me at 10:10 this morning. Charles Osgood read a not so clever poem about 10/10/10 on CBS Sunday Morning but that was it. What an anticlimax. Hope things were more exciting in Belfast.
