Okay.  I was feeling left out because I had not experienced the 444.  Then during my readings I came upon a bit of trivia from 1979.  The US Embassy staff in Tehran, Iran was held captive for 444 days.  Then Sunday, I was ill (cold or allergies, take your pick) and sleeping in the recliner, I woke to find it was 4:44 (p.m.).  The same thing happened that next morning at 4:44 a.m., I awoke and glanced at the clock ( I always do just in case it is too close to time for the alarm to go off to try to get more sleep time in) and it was 4:44.
