   2020/02/02 Sunday (Palindrome Date):   
      
   Sorry I didn't post anything from the evening.  I was a bit upset, as a verbal   
   / audible phrase that ran through my consciousness was that of my   
   (nonagenarian) mother saying, "It's gonna fail" (or "will" fail— sorry for   
   the lack of clarity here, but I    
   simply remember it being 3 words.)  What upset me with this is the immediate   
   response I felt, that such a negative comment was indicative of a condemning   
   attitude, rather than a positive statement that would indicate support and   
   encouragement.  As I came    
   awake, I became even more disturbed, thinking she may have been referencing   
   her body, or her heart, as her living number of days on Earth are far more   
   behind her now with far fewer ahead.  That the day was *also* Superbowl Sunday   
   became more immediately    
   relevant, as we watched (somewhat, using DVR) the game between the San   
   Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.  The Chiefs were down until the   
   4th quarter, at like 20-10, and Mom had given up, thinking the SF team had a   
   "runaway" game, but I started    
   rooting on the Chiefs, because modern day San Franciscans are mostly slipping   
   in their own feces on the sidewalks, and it's become a plague-infested city,   
   so I started imagining the SF team getting squashed like turds, slipping in   
   excrement, and their    
   quarterback, Garoppolo, being nick-named "Crappolo."  Sure enough, the Chiefs   
   had a *tremendous* rally and *whupped* the '9ers 31-20!  :)  Technically, it   
   was an "upset," and the score is usually displayed SF-Chiefs, 20-31.  Anyways,   
   such was my anguish    
   over "It's gonna fail" on "Palindrome day" (02-02-2020; the previous   
   palindrome date was 11-11-1111.)
