Third time is the charm

Three is a very powerful number. Good and bad things happen in three, if there are more three items on my shopping list I have to write them down or else I’ll forget something, Lloyd Alexander wrote “The Book of Three”. More tangentially, I can forget that I have to pee three times. Fortunately for me, my bladder is already warping space and time in its capacity so the ability to “forget” a few times means that on long runs or in suspect places, I am safe. After the third time though, I’ll be making a bee-line for the bathroom!
