Hebrew Alphabet Kabbalah's Tree Book of Revelations Jim Palmer Grover Cleveland	Twosday 2-22-22 My Columbia friend Richard Hanauer was first to inform me on palindrome date 2-22-22 as Twosday. This theme is repeated in Mercury News comics today Mutts and Frank & Ernest. Last time this happened 1-11-11 was millenium ago and next is 3-33-33 (Oops there's no such date!). 22 is a sacred number as there are 22 letters in Hebrew alphabet & 22 Major Arcana Tarot Cards. There are 22 paths in the Kabbalah's Tree of Life, St. Augustine has 22 Books in his City of God. 22 Chapters in the Book of Revelations, and Joseph Heller's Catch-22 is a paradox. Jim Palmer wore uniform 22 for Baltimore Orioles, won 22 games in 1972 & 1976 and 3 World Series. 22 yards between wickets in cricket, and 22 players on a football field. 22nd U.S. President Grover Cleveland appeared on 22¢ stamps in 1938 and 1986. Emily Dickinson's Poem 22: "Crocus know Let us chant it softly— There is no more snow!"
