For me Friday the 13th has never held bad connotations. How could it? My birthday is February 13. I was born on a Wednesday however, every few years my birthday falls on a Friday. The pattern of Friday February 13 is a strange one indeed, repeating 5, 6, 11 & 6 years. Born in 1974 and assuming the new average life span in the US I will see 12 birthdays on a Friday. If the universe has any sense of humor I might live until 2060 for my thirteenth Friday the 13th birthday. The oddities of my birthday go beyond Friday the 13th. My thirteenth birthday was a Friday, stranger yet there was a full moon that year (1987). The next Full Moon on Friday, February 13 will be 2087. If I live to see this second occurrence I will be the ripe old age of 111, placing me among the oldest persons alive any given year. During my lifetime I will likely see three Friday, February 13 with a possible fourth if I make it to age 89.
