Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th. It should be a happy day, I was born on a Friday the 13th, but today is not my birthday.

I don't personally put a lot of store in the superstition of Friday the 13th, although that may change today. Shortly after I woke up I checked my emails, something I do most mornings. I had two of interest. The first was from my oldest daughter, the subject line was something about, having a job for me. It seemed a little strange as my daughter has gone back to college, but I opened the email to find my daughter's account had been hacked and I just opened an email that probably had a virus. Nothing bad has happened yet but I'm being cautious.

The second email was of greater concern initially. I work with quite a few attorneys, some I work with almost daily others I work with very rarely, like once every six months. Anyway the second was form one of those attorneys that I work for rarely. I had seen Joe about two weeks ago while walking through a courthouse and we said hi. I hopes this email actually did have some work. It didn't. Joe's email said he had read an obituary in a neighboring community's newspaper in the name of David J. Sullivan. He was writing to let me now that he was glad to see that it wasn't my obituary.

I called my wife a little while ago to tell her about Joe's email and the obituary. She asked if I had read the obituary. I haven't, there is something about seeing my name in an obituary is unsettling and I don't want to do it.

Quite a good start to a Friday the 13th. If I was a superstitious person I would go back to bed until tomorrow and hope that Saturday the 14th is a better day.
