It’s New Year’s Day in the Tamil cal­en­dar, so happy new year! I didn’t know about this until only a few days ago, and coin­cid­ent­ally I con­cluded my job yes­ter­day. Also coin­cid­ent­ally, yes­ter­day was Fri­day the 13th. So it looks like I might be at the mercy of two super­sti­tions, one good and one bad. I’m hop­ing that at worst they can­cel each other out, leav­ing the com­mence­ment of my new employ­ment next week to be a neut­ral affair.

    I have always thought of Fri­day the 13th to be a good luck day for me. Maybe it’s just me. Three’s run in our fam­ily and I regard any occur­rences of three to be good luck for us. I was born on the 13th, my sis­ter was born on the 13th, my brother was born on the 3rd, my mother was born on the 30th. My father was born on the 12th, evenly divis­ible by three and the num­bers added together equal three! My wife was born on the 23rd, our daugh­ter was born on the 30th. Three’s all the way baby.

    Wow, freaky. This captcha that has been presen­ted to me includes four lots of the num­ber three!
