“A Chorus Line” raves about one singular sensation. Sports fans chant, “We’re No. 1.” And life in general rewards the person who can claim to be numero uno. Yes, if there’s one number everybody cheers for, that number would be 1.
But that’s about to change, at least for 24 hours. This week, we can all celebrate Two’s Day, when Tuesday falls on 2/22/22.
