they were right beside us at Waterloo -- so we practically memorized the equation.

Thanks to good ol' Kevin from team 1596 and his button collection!



our team number doesn't have too much significance to it -- other than it IS the answer to life. We've noticed a pattern...things we've done through the season someone match up to things that've happened on December 19th [not literally, but close enough] and smalls things that we do within in the team happen to match up to events that've taken place on the days we were born. It's hard to explain without getting into detail and such -- and if I got into detail...we'd be here forever!

But...here's something awesome I discovered!

1219 -- our original team number; guy's team number second year.
1309 -- our girl's team number in second year.

1 + 2 + 1 + 9 = 13
1 + 2 - 1 + 9 = 7

1 + 3 + 0 + 9 = 13
1 + 9 - 3 + 0 = 7

ooooooooh...it was a bit odd to say the least. But it was awesome none-the-less. I swear...I have a life, I have nightschool so I commute back and forth between home and nightschool -- an hr and a half there, and an hr and a half back -- with no friends on the bus, it makes you think a lot!
