I know there are a lot of people who really don\u2019t like this day on the calendar. As a kid I always found it funny when Churchy would duck and cover anytime Friday the 13th roles around on the calendar. I think the best was when he flipped out because he realized that Friday the 13th was on a Wednesday that month which made a strange sense to me.<\/p>\n
For me I have no problem with today. I think I have received pretty much both good and bad news in equal amounts. <\/p>\n
Most of the superstitions that I still adhere to are theater related and that\u2019s because then I don\u2019t accidently commit an error when on or back stage. I remember that Peter had to explain to Ariel why I said the Scottish Play rather than Macbeth. I remember telling her why we say break a leg before a performer goes on stage. There are a couple are more in-jokes than superstitions and mostly specific to a certain theater. There is always a great story behind those.<\/p>\n
Today Peter is in Des Moines for the Wizard World convention. He will be there all three days. If you are going, say Hi. <\/p>\n
Caroline is going to do some community service at a food pantry this weekend along with some other activities that she is looking forward to.<\/p>\n
I am going to try to get a short story done for an anthology and Aquaman moving along. First I want to pick up around the house, clean the cat boxes, and deal with the kitchen. I might go outside to work since it is lovely this morning. I opened a window for the cats and they are sniffing up a storm.<\/p>\n
There is a quiet in the house this morning. Almost an anticipation of things to come. No lawn mowers going yet. No hammering for roof repair or house building. I can hear that the train is in the station by the hum of the engine. I can hear the sounds the computer makes. There is an occasional goose honk and the cooing of a dove. Last night we could hear the frogs from the canal two streets over. <\/p>\n
I feel no need to add sound to the world around me right now. I am just listening and sorting out what I am hearing. Later I will probably listen to music of some form or another while I do chores but right now I am enjoying the sounds that are just part of the world.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for my hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
