For the tenth straight year I’ll be riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge which, through the Jimmy Fund, raises money to support research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. For more information you might look at this year’s fact sheet (PDF).

You can contribute online if you’d like to support my effort.

To the Nines

At some time today, when I happened to check, the S&P 500 index was 909.09, making me think that it would have been numerologically more fun if that had happened on September 9th, later this year. At the same time, it would be financially more fun if that did not happen on 9/9/09. Anyway, all of that shortly led me to wonder about the origin of the expression to the nines. “Short answer: nobody knows.”
