All are even.  All are multiples of 6 except the first.  They thin out faster than the primes.  They are one off from being a prime.  In both directions.  Ah ha!

They are all the number between a pair of twin primes.  I hope I don't have to look far to find the next pair.  Oh good, the next twin primes are 107, 109.  So the next number is 108.
