Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th is a Lucky Day for us. We got married on a Friday the 13th, and 13 years and 2 months later things continue to go quite well. I’m a bit of a contrarian, if the crowd zigs I’ll often zag. One of the rules of life is “Beware of large groups”.

That said, here are some items from a post on USA Today on the origin of the Friday the 13th is bad luck.  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/06/13/friday-the-thirteenth-origins-bad-luck/10376945

It was on a Friday that Jesus was crucified, and ever since, the day has been associated with “general ill omen,” Michael Bailey, a history professor at Iowa State University who specializes in the origins of superstitions, tells USA TODAY Network.

In the Middle Ages, for instance, weddings were not held on Fridays; likewise, it was not a day someone would set out on a journey, Bailey says.

Friday was also unlucky in medieval times because it was “hangman’s day,” says Stuart Vyse, a psychology professor at Connecticut College, in an interview with USA TODAY Network.

Don’t most folks who are working a standard week think “Thank God it’s Friday?”

OK then.

Friday the 13th

Who fears Friday the 13th?  If you do, you might suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia. I’m afraid to try to pronounce that one.

I have no fear of this date. In fact, Gary and I got married on a Friday the 13th. Today is our anniversary.

Interesting Friday the 13th stuff from msnbc. And Mary Muncil had a nice post on this topic today.

Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th.  And there will be 4 of them in 2012 (a leap year btw).

Who’s afraid of Friday the 13th?  Not Gary and I, we got married on a Friday the 13th.
