Meandering Thread on Friday the 13th

Last month, we had a Friday the 13th.  So I thought I'd read up on it, and came up with the following to post.  You see how a thread can run in a meander.  That's the beauty of the internet:  So much is at our disposal, that we can follow our thoughts wherever it may lead and pick up something we can treasure, even small, along the way.

Stirring finale to "William Tell Overture." Composer Gioachino Rossini has significance for today...

"The Mom Song," to the tune of "William Tell Overture." If you're a Mom, you can totally relate!

This song was part of another thread I wrote about - A Follow-the-String Journey.  Anita Renfroe was the creative Mom behind it.

Gioachino Rossini

Rossini thought Fridays were unlucky and 13 was unlucky. So when did he die? In November 1868, on Friday the 13th!

How crazy is that?

The 1980 slasher "Friday the 13th" became a cult hit. The film series has since raked in $465 million. I'd say that's pretty lucky!

So if you happen to live or work in the jungle, please do be careful! Jason may be watching.
