Busy Day Yesterday

DECEMBER 13th. Good old Friday the 13th.

Well, one thing about having a party, it gets us (and especially me) to cleaning the house and doing things I continually put off. That means dusting and vacuuming the basement, reorganizing my mess (well, stuff) and in this case, hooking up the 55-inch Vizio TV (otherwise I would have put it off for awhile.

I helped at the American Legion party for the VA Hospital in North Chicago from 11 to 2. Then came home and actually got the TV hooked up and working. Then we drove to Barrington for the wake of one of our friend's mom. She was 83 which made me think of my mom who is also that age.

On the way back, we stopped at Main Street Outfitters in Wauconda and enjoyed the musical stylings of the Spizzirris, Terry and Gregg, until 10. Watched Eastern Illinois lose to Towson State in the FBC quarterfinal game. Sorry that happened as I really back the local teams.

Busy, Busy. --RoadDog

You Know What Today Is: Paraskevidekatriaphobics

From Jan. 13th USA Today.

Clue above. And there are three of them this year. April 13th and July 13th you get to experience them again. We usually get just two, and bagging three won't happen again until 2040.

Well, I ave up trying to pronounce it, but that's the long word in the blog title. It is even too hard to spell while looking at it.

Was there a movie series about the day.

So, Happy Parasidtenicalekiudtsg to You, Too. --RoadDog
