And I have always found your calendar stuff most fascinating, Rudy. Thanks
for the tip about Doomsday.

What I'm also wondering is that my son was born on a Friday the 13th (May)
and last year he also turned 13 years old. People tease him about being
jinxed (you probably know the old superstitions about Friday the 13th, or
is that a strictly U.S. thing?), but my take has always been that it was a
lucky day, not at all a jinxed day.

So are there very many Friday the 13ths in a year, or do you have a
calculation for that?

Warmly,
Shirley
