Thank you for responding to the thread, Hi 5's for everyone!

I survived the day and now await a night full of predicted thunderstorms with a potential for tornadoes.
Had a great review at work, and all in all it was a pretty lucky day.

but then the night is young....

I usually treat it like a mini-Halloween and watch a scary movie. When I was a kid, I would read scary comic books on Friday the 13th.

But today I hardly noticed. I have a busy day tomorrow so not much time for movies today. Plus it is so close to Tax Day that I think Tax Day sucks all the fear out of Friday the 13th.

I like Friday the 13th.  It's usually been good luck for me.

Today hasn't been bad.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Ooops, I'm wrong.

Sorry.

Dave Allen at Large! I used to love that show!

Anyway, Friday is named for Freya, the goddess of love in Norse and Germanic myths. And we all know what happens when love goes awry. Just ask Troy.
