In the news: Today is Dec. 12, 2012, aka 12/12/12. For those of us who aren’t young children blessed with longevity genes, this is the last time we’ll see a date like this in our lifetimes (there is no 13.13.13, for example) – unless someone discovers the Fountain of Youth, of course.
Happening today: A benefit takes place tonight at Madison Square Garden to raise money for Superstorm Sandy relief. A host of stars are set to perform, including Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Kanye West, The Who and Alicia Keys.
Gas update: Gasbuddy.com reports that the average price of gas in the U.S. is $3.323. Last year at this time it was $3.286.
