Mysterious 7

So this morning I took a few minutes to follow-up on some business-related personal things in my home office. One item that needed to be taken care of was signing up for LSI's 401(k) plan. Most financial sites have one use their Social Security Number for the user name but, in this case, they strongly urged users to come up with something different. So I decided, in a fit of unadulterated originality, to use Papa Linus as my user name. Not too surprising, right?

So I chose Papa Linus and hit 'Next', and the page that followed notified me that, for enhanced security, the user name I had chosen was going to be converted to a numerical value, corresponding to the numbers/letters on a telephone's keypad (P=7, A=2, etc.) . I'll bet you can't guess what's coming now.

The number that popped up was 727254687 and, no surprise here, the converted user name has three 7's, which matches what you get when you add all of the 'integers' of my birthday (07-16-52) together.

In an ongoing effort - consistent with my Life Purposes - to make something out of absolutely nothing, I am going to arbitrarily assign some significance to this phenomenon. I'm been brain-storming and am fluctuating between claiming an inordinate share of global harmonic resonance and preparing to audition for a sequel to Jim Carey's movie '23.' I'm been losing some weight and am looking more ready for prime time than I have in some time but, for now, I think I'm going to stick with global harmonic resonance which sounds cool, and which can be defined any way I choose, depending on my mood.

Yeah, that works.
