When I hear "Friday the 13th" I think of the movies with Jason et al. Given that Mark added the suffix V, I believe he too was referring to the movie(s). Today may be Valentine's Day (aka Support-Your-Florist-And-Hallmark Day) but to me it is much more significant that it is my cat Taco's 4th birthday. I did do something nice to my wife: we drove to Amsterdam this morning and let her loose in the shops.
