Good Morning and welcome to the middle of the week!
A lot of people think the Number 13 is unlucky. I'm here to tell you it is lucky.
To illustrate how lucky 13 is, I give you a story about a little boy.
Way back in 2002, when we were all giddy with a good economy and nice job outlook, Brendan came into this world on May 13.
Now, there are a lot of births every day. This though, is not a story about them.
Two years later, after delighting his parents with smiles, yelps and yells, Brendan decided danger was his middle name.
So, on the occasion of a nice spring day, much like the one outside our windows today, Brendan climbed on the arm of a couch and stood up.
Now, many children do this every day. They experiment. They like to climb. They like to feel better.
Brendan, though, had a plan. After getting his father's attention, he quickly dove off the arm of the couch and (CONK) went head-first into the hardwood floor. Now, his father, being a father, ran over to Brendan, who was starting to cry just a little bit. Luckily, there was no blood, just a little bump.
OK, everything is fine. Now, let's not do that again.
Which, of course, was an invitation for Brendan to climb on the arm of the couch and prepare for dive No. 2. This time, though, his father caught him in midair, which made Brendan very mad. Hey, flying is fun. Danger is fun. Can I get out on the roof.
No, Brendan, you can't get on the roof, but thank you for making every day interesting. Thank you for being the free spirit we wish we all could be.
