..... Pah! I'm not superstitious. Other numbers have been far unkinder to me than 13.

I was almost killed twice on the 24th (land mine in Viet Nam and a train wreck in Western New York).
I ended up in the hospital with heart problems on the 10th twice.
Both my parents died on the 28th of the month exactly six months apart.
On the fifth (5 is unlucky to Chinese BTW) I was shipwrecked off Labrador (you could call that another "almost killed"), arrived in Viet Nam for 18 months with the Marines and lost my last job .

..... I don't really recall anything of significance happening bad on Friday the 13th. As far as that goes this past Friday was pretty good. I sold an old air-conditioner we had no further use of for $60, $10 more than I was really expecting to get. I found a dollar bill and several coins along the way on my morning walk. Got a letter (a real letter mind you) from someone I had not heard from in several years. No bills came in the mail, but our tax rebate cheque was scheduled to be sent to us that day. I felt good all day and spent it with wife who had off. Not a bad Friday the 13th.
..... I don't pay that much heed to numbers. Coincidence, that's all. I don't worry any more on the 5th, 10th, 24th or 28th any more than any other day of the month.
