Is this a sad finale???

I realized that this week there was a Thursday 13th and know that I have heard about the concept in which this is the first of a seventeen year span with no Friday 13ths. I have checked up on it as much as possible and it appears to be true. The calendar on my computer lets me go as far into the future as I want and it seems to be accurate. Now, I have no problem with this date; the thing is that by the time it comes back round again there will be an entire generation of children near the age of adulthood who will never have even heard of it and it could possibly just disappear into the strata sphere forever. Preschool children today will not understand what Friday 13th means young adults ranging in age from seventeen year olds to twenty-two year olds will be part of the real beginnings of a whole new world. Is it good? Or is it a bad thing? That isn't for me to choose. I think that it is sad to think that something that's been around for such a lot of time that changes a single day in a week every few months or so that gives people something to think and talk about, just a little blip on the screen. It was first recorded in English in 1869 as an especially unlucky day, and one that I have always seen as a good day. Maybe its because the fear kept all everyone so occupied that there was little left for me to concern myself with and things went smoothly. Whatever you believe this day to represent, I believe you will notice a significant loss in the old standby. What next ? April Fool's Day ?? Meg
