The Magic Number
After a fantastic daytrip to the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park (enormous sculptures that make you feel like a midget,) Jenny and I started playing a spontaneous little game.

-MENAGOIS A TROIS (i don't speak the french)
-Three way

Three way mirror is made up. All the sex ones were on the list. Sorry Charlie Tuna.
Today jenny text messaged '3 french hens' (12 days of christmas) and '3 Dog Night.' She also texted 'Seven Sisters' but I suspect she's been drinking.

To The Power of Three- the latest book from mystery author Laura Lippman
Other than that, I got nothing.
So I can make this a triple post, how about Andre 3000?

As other's have said, what is the (three-) point (turn) of this exercise?
-Charles
In fact, you could compile this ridiculous list and put it all into a three-ring binder!
You guys are beautiful, don't change.
I believe 30 is the perfect # of comments to end this on, wouldn't you say?
