Friday the 13th 2017
Today is the 6th day of the 2nd week, the 13th day of the 1st month, the 13th day of 2017, and:
- Blame Someone Else Day
- Friday the 13th – did you stop and realize every month that starts with a Sunday has a Friday the 13th?
- International Skeptics Day
- Make Your Dream Come True Day
- National Peach Melba Day
- National Rubber Ducky Day
- National Sticker Day

ON THIS DAY: In 532 the Nika revolt against Emperor Justinian I started and took place over the course of a week in Constantinople. In 1888 the National Geographic Society is founded in Washington DC. In 1898 Émile Zola's J'accuse…! exposed the Dreyfus affair. In 1910 the first public radio broadcast takes place; a live performance of the operas Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci are sent out over the airwaves from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. In 1942 Henry Ford patented a plastic automobile, which is 30% lighter than a regular car. In 1949 new findings published on asbestosis and the dangers of asbestos in insulation dealt a heavy blow to one of Quebec's major mining industries. In 1968 Johnny Cash performed live at Folsom State Prison. In 1993 Space Shuttle Endeavour headed for space for the third time as STS-54 launched from the Kennedy Space Center. In 2002 the off-Broadway musical "The Fantasticks" ended a run of nearly 42 years and 17,162 performances.
This week has felt like it was abnormally long, and yet the idea that the month is now half over is almost mind boggling. Reminds me of the old saying that even though the hours and days seem long sometimes, the months and years are far too short. Kids seem to grow up so quickly, neh? Today I saw a cute picture of my daughter looking very mischievous and it took me back some thirty years in a blink of an eye….
“ The picture books are put away,
There are no children's games to play,
No goodnight kiss, no prayers to hear,
That all belongs to yesteryear.
My hands once busy, now lie still,
The days are long and hard to fill,
I wish I might go back and do,
The little things you asked me to.“
