It’s an original English Literature concept and way of thought.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit —

Old Testamdnt, New Testament, Holy Gospel —

No lincs yet. Still tending bonfire. Once it initially burns down, you drag in the sides of the CIRCLE and have yourself another burn down.

Newton’s 3 laws — Kepler’s 3 laws — the 3 subatomic particles —

Bad, and good stuff is known to happen in threes. So I must control that.

I was off line recently for 81 days, 3 to the 4th.

All Celestial Bodies are spheres. The Venn Diagram is an awesome teaching tool.

Back to the fire and yard work. Gorgeous evening but for the humidity here in North Central Illinois

I only drive through Winnebago County on I-39 when escaping to Wisconsin — right at the northern end of I-39 is where the topography changes to the Ice Age —

my La Salle County is fabulous farm country — I’m one block off of a horse farm and farm fields —

Think of tri-state (Theory of Threes) Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin — gorgeous —Pallisades on the Iowa side of the Mississippi River

RAGBRAI — long-time teacher friend bikes that each year —

I lived off of I-39 for a little over 5 years back in the 80's. We used to go up to Wisconsin to drink because they had the 19 year old drinking age.

LaSalle Co is home to one of my favorite places in Illinois--Starved Rock.

#3 Galena in Jo Davies Co.

We’ll be hiking Starved Rock before school starts for my wife in her last year — 50 years after she graduated from HS —

Starved Rock and Mattheissen State Parks and this entire ecosystem on the South Side of the Illinois River are World-renowned

And yes the Galena Territory on US 20 is superior

Awesome place. We went there when I was a kid living in the City. So, when I moved back to Illinois as an adult, I went there a lot.

The City is still fun to visit. I walked Michigan Ave shopping district between Halloween and Christmas last year when I stayed at the Palmer House for business. THat brought back memories of childhood too.

I also walked down to McCormick Place from the hotel every day for a week. THat was fun.

Advancing the theory of threes to the theory of fives was a ‘Howard the Duck’ proposition — pretty intense —

five-star generals — five-star resorts — five Olympic Circles — the fifth dimension — the Dave Clark 5 — much harder —

Five toes — five fingers — five senses —

Wait until you hear the octagon series —

Star of David. Pentagrams. 5-O'clock shadow. The Five on Fox. Five finger discounts. Five-Oh states. :)
 
Let's not forget 5 senses- 5 Families- 5 Guys- the Famous 5 - 5 spice - 5-star generals- high 5- and one of my personal favorites - Chanel No. 5

The application of the theory of threes to the Periodic Table was one of my finest moments as a Teacher — triads beginning in the early 1800s grouped known elements by similar chemical and physical properties — copper, silver, gold —

One of the most intriguing similar property groups is Group 8 B of the Transition elements — 9 elements — properties are similar HORIZONTALLY — only place on the PT —

the magnetic elements Iron, Cobalt, Nickel — the most intriguing and complicated Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium —

And the asteroid elements of Osmium, Iridium and Platinum —

You’ll need a Periodic Table here brother — I’m looking at one right now —

Bring on the pictures and music videos folks —

My wife’s contribution — The Jackson Five — back to threes — Rush — one of my faves — Emerson, Lake and Palmer — ooh what a lucky man he was —

The theory of threes guides me — it’s global thinking — a sphere has the least amount of surface area compared to its volume —

the sphere is the shape of the S orbital in quantum mechanics — Simplest shape of orbitals for electron matter-waves, lowest energy —

I don't feel like checking the syllables, but my instincts tell me this is the worst series of haikus I've ever seen.

All Celestial bodies are not spheres. Many asteroids and meteors are not even remotely spherical. In reality, no celestial bodies are spheres, it's just that due to their size we cannot differentiate them.

There's nothing magical to the number three. Like the golden ratio it just kind of works out well. Pick any two things and they generally have at least one thing in common, but add a third and all of a sudden the list of potential commonalities becomes exponentially smaller. It's a good way to establish a head fake in comedy. Mention one thing, then another so people can guess at where you're going, and then have the third go in a completely different direction, but still make sense.

Also, as a side note... not sure what you're talking about with the holy gospel. I would think the Koran would actually be the third book in that trilogy if you're going to have one.
