The day came and went without a dent in the fender. Friday the 13th doesn't seem to carry the same sort of mythos that is did when I was younger. When asking a child about it their Friday the 13th they seemed lost, asking if they forgot a holiday.
Technology and greed ate it's face.
They'll get the Easter bunny shoved down their throats, Santa Claus and sometimes the tooth fairy but nothing else. If it doesn't surround money and gluttony the superstition and fun mythos dies. Certainly Friday the 13th isn't a great big deal, it seems to be more of an urban legend that's been there since God knows when. It's no chupacabra, but it is another part of the American fabric that seems a little more dead year after year.
