8 - Years since I lived with cockroaches.
9 - The approximate frequency in months that I visit this laundromat.
10 – Years since I’ve spoken to some people I’ve encountered in the last three weeks. They say I’m exactly as they remember me. Not sure if that’s good or bad.

12 - Years since I got my drivers license.
13 – Number of people my nuclear family counting wives and kids.
14 - Halfway between 1978 and now. Not a pivotal year. Same might be said of this one.

16 - Days a month I have band practice.
17 - Years from now, I'll be 45.
18 – I don't have anything signifcant here, but when I was loading my wash, the angry woman next to me was complaining about her comforter not being dry and I almost stopped her and said: "of course it's not dry...it's a washer."
19 - Fill in the blank.

25 - Was apparently the quarter-life crisis age, but I tend to care less about what's next these days.
26 - Letters in the alphabet.
27 - Much busier than 26.
28 – Age at which my father said he was pulling down $300 a month as an intern in a New Jersey hospital and when my brother got engaged to his now-wife and said: “yeah, it’s about time.”
