Friday the What?

I don’t believe in Friday the 13th … that it’s unlucky, I mean.   I think it’s just a coincidence that BYU lost their game, that I have a nasty case of the stomach flu, that this weekend is Phyllis and Dennis Hancey’s big Chinese dinner of the year, and that we’re out of Saltines.  (This [...]
