Friday the 13th ain't a problem when it happens on Friday the 13th, cuz you're prepared for it.

It's when Friday the 13th sneaks up on you on a Wednesday or a Saturday that you have to worry.

Like the gif: #14 gets clunked and then thunked, and why? Because of #13 in the picture, apparently innocent and not involved, but ultimately the cause, and then clunked thunked himself.

I need a bang to get me started. Today is the beginning of a weekend-long grading grind. Final exams and final papers for two 50-student classes. 

Alternatively, I could just do this, finish grading in 30 minutes, and go on a weekend-long bender:

I'm not good at multiple choice exams. Though they seem easy to make, for me at least it was tough.

On one hand, trying to test students' understanding of the difference between something that is right and only seems right can make questions too hard. On the other hand, questions can get so easy that anyone could answer them.

IIRC, OP has a wedding date coming up in the next week or so. a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man, eh? 

See the source image

could be that OP has some other good news to share - this might be just the place to do it

My son comes home from college this weekend and we're going turkey hunting next week. Here's hoping for a loud bang Monday morning, bright and early. GOBBLE! GOBBLE!

I shot a bearded hen on the 2nd Saturday, my 2nd time out. I heard one gobble in 2 days, way far off. The two brothers who live on and own the property told me they see toms all the time. "You should have been here yesterday."

BTW - I thought the hen was a jake with a long, skinny beard. She came in down a hill silhouetted against the morning sky. The beard was obvious, so I shot. Quite a shock to come up and see it was a hen.

I was born on a Friday the 13th, so I've never considered the day to be unlucky.

It's the other 364 that I gotta watch out for.

Ah yes.... My youngest, who graduated Magna Cum Laude a week ago, has accepted an offer to be the Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations for the Oklahoma Warriors of the NAHL.

The lad is headed off to Oklahoma City (after we get back from a week on the beach at North Topsail Island that is).
