    Ones and Threes is a short book that explores the odd frequency of their, Ones and Threes, arrival in every day life. At least mine. I'd love to hear if they are in yours as well.

      Preface

      This book has data that amplifies the last one third of my previous book, From Your Mouth To G-d's Ear. Here, as I did there, I hyphenate the One above’s generic Title for fear of using His Name in vain. Therefore I spell it G-d.

      The chapters there and now below speak to the odd occurrences and coincidental doubles that happened during the time preceding and during the writing of that book. And those same odd occurrences and coincidental doubles continue to occur to this very day: Thank the One above.

      So without further a due, please feel free to enjoy them with me.

      Chapter 1

      Numbers

      Every single thing that a person sees or hears, is an instruction to him in his conduct in the service of G-d.

      Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov

      My family loves the movie "The Three Amigos".

      There is a scene where, in the dark and quiet of night, Steve Martin is on top of the wall that prevents trespassers from entering the movie studio that has just fired The Three Amigos. Steve had told the other two amigos, Chevy Chase and Martin Short, to wait at the base of the wall for his signal.

      After several attempts to quietly get their attention with soft bird whistles and then, after getting no response, louder and louder whistles; then trying loud exotic bird calls from less than eight feet away, Steve became frustrated with his two clueless chums. He switched tactics from bird whistles to word whistles in a falsetto that sounds like a high pitched parrot saying "look up here, Look Up Here!, LOOK UP HERE!!, LOOK UP …

      HEY, GUYS!!!

      This book is about numbers, specifically "Ones and/or Threes and later, coincidences that Dena, my beloved wife and I like to call Doubles".

      Based on what Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov said shortly before George Washington was born, I think both; the numbers and the doubles, are a form of an instructional heads up.

      When they happen, we kid each other and say, look up here, Look Up Here!, LOOK UP HERE!! We are pretty sure the One above is trying to get our attention but it often requires the repetition.

      I had
