FRIDAY THE 13TH

Are you suspicious? Does the number bother you? Or is it just another day? Before a long weekend, it is not so bad. Valentine's Day is tomorrow so lots of red, chocolates and flowers- if lucky a dinner out with a sweetheart! 13- in Christian faith- Jesus and the 12 disciples! Why is it considered unlucky? In my life I actually lived on the 13th floor of the Married Students' Residence at the University of Waterloo. Must have been lucky- still with the same husband! However, many apartment buildings do not have a 13th floor! I would avoid playing it on a lottery ticket as it is just as easily to be one of the winning numbers. But we do have a dozen eggs- 12 not 13! The number 13 does add up to 4- which is an unlucky number for Chinese people! To think we could have this discussion again in March which has another Friday the 13th. So lucky or unlucky, it is just another day so enjoy it as a fun day follows it! Being a Friday, it can not be so bad, eh?
