friday-the-thirteenth

In case there are some of you out there who hadn’t noticed the date—Happy Friday the 13th!

Yes, this is the day that’s supposed to be “unlucky”. The fear of this day is called paraskevidekatriaphobia.
I’ve actually known people who were really afraid of this. They went through the day looking over their shoulders, expecting something awful to happen—even staying at home, hiding out in safety.

I thought we might celebrate the day by moving Jason Voorheer, villain of all of the “Friday the 13th” films into the writing arena.
Why?
Because it’s just the place for someone who occasionally dons different masks, spends long periods of time behind closed doors, and refuses to give up and die, no matter how many times he’s cut down. :razz:
