Day 96
13. Teenage-hood.
12. My name (first & last) has 13 letters in it. So does Robert Redford’s.
11. Millard Fillmore was our 13th president. He once ran as a candidate of the Know Nothing Party. How can you not love a guy like that?
10. In keeping with the presidential theme, today is Thomas Jefferson’s birthday. He was born on a Wednesday in 1743.
9. It’s Butch Cassidy’s birthday, too. He was born on Friday the 13th back in 1866. And we all know how his life turned out.
8. “Houston, we have a problem.” Disaster? Yes. But one that made for a great movie? Yes.
7. My brother Daniel is 13.
6. 13 is a prime number. Go math!
5. Next school year, I’ll have only 13 credits to complete for my master’s degree.
4. 13 original colonies.
3. Triskaidekamania (you really really really love 13) & Triskaidekaphobia (you really really really don’t). Without the number 13, we wouldn’t have such cool words.
2. Sacramento boasts the intersection of 13th St. and 13th Ave.
1. There’s no need to be scared of a number! 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
