Suggestion #11 from Twelve Suggestions for the New Year

Eleven is the most difficult number on the list because there aren’t a lot of naturally occurring sets of eleven.  Eleven Warriors is a blog dedicated to The Ohio State University football – something of interest to me, but perhaps not to you.

Eleven Madison Park is a restaurant in NYC.  Eleven Mile State Park has a reservoir that is a favorite among Colorado fisherman.  The Eleventh Circuit Court in CA is a US appeals court – not nearly as famous (or infamous, depending upon your politics) as the Ninth Circuit Court in San Francisco.

From Wikipedia: “Eleven is the first number which cannot be counted with a human's eight fingers and two thumbs additively. In English, it is the smallest positive integer requiring three syllables and the largest prime number with a single-morpheme name.”  See what I mean – it is an oddity.

So, drumroll. . . here it is, Suggestion #11.

#11: Since eleven is the number of participants on a side in both versions of football, I encourage you to join a team this year – to be part of something larger than yourself, something (outside of work) where you share in the outcome with others.

May you have a blessed 2012!  I’d love to hear your responses to my Twelve Suggestions.
