166840.
i entered this number approx. 1,260 times in 7 years at lane and snider.
it’s ingrained in my memory. i can make the motions with my fingers without even thinking.
143339.
i wrote this number on approx. 400 shoe boxes while at finishline. i hate this number.
56.
it’s 8 x 7. it’s the answer to my most memorable multiplication problem. my fourth grade teacher taught us this one first, because it was one she could never remember. i think of that EVERY time i have to multiply 8 x 7.
2,135
the highest i’ve ever counted. i did it at first baptist church in south bend when i was like 11. started at the beginning of the sermon and stopped right at the end. i was so excited that i passed 2,000.
