11:23

When I was a kid I had a little difficulty sleeping at night. I would stare at the numbers on my digital clock. Without being able to help it, I would try to form little algebraic equations with the numbers. For example, if it was 9:33pm, I would think "9 = 3 x 3".

My favorite time, and often a time when I was in bed, turned out to be 11:23, because it is the first four numbers of the Fibonacci sequence. I still always think that when I see that the time is 11:23, which happens more often that one might think.
