Welcome to 2013! For all of you who have no superstitutions about the number 13 - it should be a good year! I expect mine to be especially good since I have a number of black cats - oh, wait - I’m not superstitiuous. Anyway, I expect my year to be one of my best [...]
Well, my unfounded prediction last week that “it looks like we won’t be having a white Christmas” was blown out of the water as we probably have the biggest snowfall ever - they’re saying the biggest in 80 years. So, all I have to do next year is to predict no snow and ta da [...]
