Default Friday the 13th!

This was my oddity today.

While driving my kids to school this morning my Bug clicked on 66,666 and my left low beam headlight blew out. Just last week the right one blew and its was replaced. Now I have to wait til Tuesday to get it fixed. Milk Day.

Oh, well, if thats all thats happened today....no biggie.

PS: I put no stock in superstition at all.

So, how was your day?

And...?

Nobody goes, "OMG it's Saturday the 14th! OMG!"

So what's the big deal over 13 on a Friday?

My wife was born on a Friday the 13th and today I had an all day interview session with a local Health Care Network. Interviewed with the 7 directors who report to the CIO, one right after the other.

On the way home, I stopped at an indoor Golfing place and played 18 holes at Spyglass in California (via a large interactive video screen set-up and some really neat software).

Overall it was a very nice day...

BTW, my oldest daughter (13) is having a sleep-over and all 6 of them are playing DDR: Extreme 2 on PS2.

We have a couple of soft mat's and they have been going at it for close to 3 hrs.
