Well, today’s date certainly looks lucky either way you present it – 11\/01\/11 or 01\/11\/11 and today:<\/p>\n
1. I was lucky enough to have left some gas in my car so the gas lines didn’t freeze over night and I could start the car to-day. Must get to the gas station p.d.q.<\/p>\n
2. Things were a little slow in the luck department until 4:00pm when my good friend Mary Pat came by bearing gifts. Mary Pat was clearing out her father’s apartment and passed on to me some fabulous books – two poetry books – one by Al Purdy and another by G.K. Chesterton, plus a fabulous, almost never opened, Latin dictionary (just a day before Latin Wednesdays on Facebook!)- how lucky is that!<\/p>\n
3. Well, I got to the gas station and my favourite attendant was there – he always makes me laugh – he could just be giving a synopsis of the weather forecast; but he says it in the most hilarious way – the weather chanel should interview him! <\/p>\n
4. I could also enjoy vicariously my friend Julia’s luck in that she has 12 people signed up for her trip to Morroco – a full house! Julia organizes trips to Morroco for fibre enthusiasts. I think that she should get on twitter and post away, when she’s away, then I could enjoy the actual trip too!<\/p>\n
5. I was also lucky to have had all neurons firing, because I figured out this clue in the Globe’s crytic crossword puzzle – Let everyone with a ring get married – which became – all (everyone) o (ring) wed (married) or allowed for “let”.<\/p>\n
Can’t wait to see what luck comes in tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
