Three has always been a good number to me. I’m not quite sure why, though I’ve definitely always preferred odd numbers (even better if they’re prime). I’m not much of a math person, but the idea that something – like a prime number – can be so wholly unique just always struck me as sort of beautiful.

But anyway, today is a particularly important three in my book – my third to last day at the Day Job. See, I’ve never done anything like this before: leaving stability for the unknown, changing things up *gulp* on purpose. And so, in honor of three more days I bring you, some of my favorite threes. What’s your favorite number? Any significant reasons? Do you have a favorite trio? Let me know!
