      Happy Friday the 13th, everybody!

      ... remember, I'm trying to start a Thing where Friday the 13th is a Good Luck day, 'cuz every Friday is "Good Friday".

      Henceforth, it's Monday the 13th that's the bad-luck day ('cuz ... Mondays ... duh).

      So anyway, Happy Friday the 13th ... it's gonna be a thing!
