My Lucky Day

Well how about that? It’s Friday the 13th: the unluckiest day of the year. Though I wouldn’t call myself superstitious by any stretch of the imagination, I admit I like the idea of outside forces, like luck, having an impact on daily life. It makes things a lot more interesting, à mon avis. Sure, randomness has its merits, as well, but that seems so impersonal. So I’m a big fan of Fate and Destiny. And luck, for that matter, though one could argue that mine has been less than stellar.

So given that this is supposed to be the unluckiest day of the year, I like to celebrate it. The way I figure it, this should be the best day of the year for any unlucky person. Basic mathematics tells us that multiplying two negative charges will produce a positive outcome, so why can’t that be the same for luck? Today will henceforth be a lucky day for me. I’ve decided.

So how will I celebrate my lucky day? I’m not sure yet. Money is pretty tight, as usual, but I’m sure I can dig up something somewhere. I may just give Le Petit Medley another shot tonight, so if anyone happens to be in the Montreal area, feel free to drop in for a pint. Chances are good you’ll find me at the bar sampling whatever happens to be on tap. Have a good weekend everyone! And happy Friday the 13th!
