Kevin I had other plans for today’s post, but since today’s a unique day in the calendar year, I’ve decided to put my other plans on ice, and make today’s post a commemoration of Twosday, February 22nd, 2022. Written numerically, that means either 2-22-22, or 22-2-22. Whichever way you write it, it’s a palindrome, and it doesn’t happen.
The last time this happened, it was December 12th, 2012. 12-12-12. Of course, there was also November 11th, 2011, or 11-11-11.
As part of my contribution to commemorate this day, a local country radio station started playing two songs from an artist before moving on to the next one. Here they are, in chronological order from the start of the day to the end, and copied and pasted from my notepad. Originals are in my journal.

Over to you, readers. Doing anything special for Twosday? Yes, no, maybe so? Either way, I’d love to hear all about it. Drop it all like it’s hot below, and let’s talk.
