I am not superstitious about most things, but I don't like black cats (aka bad luck) to cross my path.
And I have also always considered 13 to be an unlucky number, although I have no reason to think so, other than the old wives' tales. I haven't had a lot of bad luck in life...well except for with men.
I was only a little distressed to note that I was sitting in seat number 13 at my university graduation. But the number 13 keeps crossing my path. When I awake in the middle of the night, more often than not, the digital clock reads 2:13 or 3:13.
How worried am I about 13? I ask to be reassigned if I am sitting in row 13 on an airplane, and I prefer not to stay in a hotel room with the number 13. Maybe for me, 13 is a lucky number. I sure hope so. I attended the New Year's Eve dance at the Navy League Hall, and you guessed it, I was seated at Table 13! Here's wishing readers a happy 2010. I can't wait for 2013.
