Friday the 13th
01/13/2005

Is superstition alive and well in these enlightened times?

I'm taking a vacation day -- just in case.

A black cat crossed my path once and it was very bad luck. I nailed the poor thing with my Toyota.

Got out to look but I couldn't find him - I think he just bounced off the tire and took off. I felt really bad.

Friday the 13th, and a full moon to boot.

Too cool.

I've actually always had good luck on Friday the 13th! Considering it's pay day, what's not to like?

I once saw a black cat in a ditch, as I was driving on my way to work on Friday the 13th. It was something!

Ok... how did I get that much space between sentences?

I've never done that before. Weird.

That's a first. Guess it's worth a try, though.

I'm not going into the Red Zone today.

But I had a black cat for 19 years and she crossed my path every morning as I went to the kitchen to feed her.

If anything, she brought me good luck.

Awwww. I have a black cat who is 18.5 years. Not sure she is going to make it to 19 as she is in poor health but she is still Queen of the House and greets me every morning with a Big Meow before the alarm goes off.

I have a black cat also, and he too wakes me up before the alarm goes off...at 0430am!

It was almost HIS unlucky day as I shoved him off the bed...

What is it with cats and 4:30am? Even when we set the clocks up/back, the cat seems to reset too.
