Happy Friday the 13th!

[Cycleguy007]

Today is the second of 3 Friday the 13th's this year... Many people are superstitious about this day... some feel it is "good" luck and others say "bad" luck... There's even a name for it! "Triskaidekaphobia"

If you're a Motor cycle enthusiast, you may be on your way to Port Dover today...

For me... I consider this a VERY LUCKY day... My youngest daughter was born on a Friday The 13th- in 1996. She is such a Q'Tpi and one of the real true loves of my life! So I consider it A VERY lucky day indeed!

How about you?

To me this day is no more unlucky/lucky than any other.

To be sure i did bring a rabbitt foot, just incase, of course it wasn't lucky for the rabbit, so why should it help me.

Congrats on the daughter you adore. Our kids are what we are here for.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt would not travel on the 13th day of any month and would never host 13 guests at a meal. Napoleon and President Herbert Hoover were also triskaidekaphobic, with an abnormal fear of the number 13.


Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. "It was bad luck," Twain later told the friend. "They only had food for 12." Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme, or professional 14th guest.


The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, according to numerologists who consider the latter to be a complete number - 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 days of Christmas and 12 eggs in a dozen.

Well, it struck me...

I thought I had to drive to Detroit this morning. Went to bed late, woke up early, started to drive across the city, made it to Cambridge, turned on the radio and discovered I was a week ahead of schedule.

Turned around and drove back home.

Grrrrr.

You could have stopped in Acton, to make it worth the drive.

My sons got stuck in the elevator today for almost an hour. Poor them and poor me on the outside waiting and waiting with the baby. They were headed for the 1st fl. It stopped on the second. They pushed the close button and only the outside closed and the inside part only half way.

Nah,

The only time I was a bit unlucky is when I was driving my moped in Port Dover when the bikers rolled in. I had to run out real quick and buy a Metellica sticker to put on it so I would blend in.
