Friday the Thirteenth
by Jeff Summers on Nov.13, 2009, under Family
I like to think of myself as an educated man. I graduated from college and even started a few post graduate degrees until I get bored and try something new. I read and try to keep up with current affairs. I enjoy delving into math and science projects and based upon my intelligence test scores was invited to join Mensa.
Why then do I find myself nervously preoccupied with Friday the 13th? This year has been especially bad as there have been three of these. With each one I cringe when I see it on the calendar and want to just stay home under the covers hoping to survive until the calendar rolls over to the 14th.
Album? What’s an Album?

I am beginning to gain a new appreciation for how the dinosaurs felt as they began their decline into extinction. For a period of time dinosaurs ruled the earth and were the dominant creature that dictated how things progressed.
Depending on what theory you adhere too, there were either outside forces at work that destroyed the environment of the dinosaur or the species simply did not react to changes going on around them and over time nature went a different direction leaving the dinosaur to die out.
