January 13, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Triskaidekaphobia special! There are actually two more Friday the 13ths this year: 13 April and 13 July. Rare! But that makes sense; after all, 2012 is the predicted end of the world.

I’ve been late getting the last several TGIF posts out and I know I’ve ruined many Fridays because planned displacement behavior has gone by the wayside. Who wants displacement behavior at 8 PM on a Friday night? You want it all day so you can check out these stories to see if one of them [...]
