Three hundred!  It’s an important number.  There are three hundred days in the year, if you don’t count the other sixty-five or so.  There were three hundred Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae.  Three hundred years ago today, J.S. Bach’s St. John’s Passion had its debut.  In 300 A.D., Micheon (as Wikipedia informs us) became the ruler of the Korean kingdom of Goguryeo, and Li Shou, future emperor of the Cheng Han dynasty, was born.  And so today, in honor of Li Shou, and Micheon, and St. John, and J.S. Bach, and all those fearless Spartans,  I post my 300th crossword.
