I have a black cat in residence who is constantly crossing my path, I don&#8217;t shy away from picking up coins that are tails side up, on occasion I have opened umbrellas indoors, and 13 never seemed like a particularly ominous number to me.

		<description><![CDATA[I am seriously skeptical of male/female writing teams because of a bad reading experience. And yet, despite these deeply held beliefs that team-writing is a challenge few conquer, I took a chance on not one, but two books written by male/female writing teams. Yes, I contradict myself.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chinspeaks.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8514377&amp;post=576&amp;subd=chinspeaks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eventually, the day will come when the football world no longer cares about every single thing Brett Favre does. Fortunately for me, August 18, 2010 was not that day...more important than the comments or the recs, that post about Favre returning to the Vikings attracted the attention of Ted, my fairy godfather. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chinspeaks.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8514377&amp;post=561&amp;subd=chinspeaks&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
