tomorrow's special day

Tomorrow, March 13 (which is also a Friday the 13th) is "Blame Someone Else Day."  I figured this was one you needed a heads up on. Be prepared.  If anything goes wrong in your world tomorrow be prepared to blame someone else.  You know how it works.  When you were a child you probably, like me, found it easy to blame someone else.  I had two younger brothers so for me it was obvious.  Two instant targets.  They, however, had to be more creative.  My youngest brother had an imaginary friend for a while.  The friend's name was Rimrock and he got my brother into all kinds of trouble.  Other handy blaimees were the cat, the dog, the other brother or a cousin, if one happened to be handy.  We had 12 cousins so one was frequently available.  Now we are adults and we need to be a little more creative in our excuses. Instead of blaming someone else it often works better to blame something else. My computer crashed.  My car wouldn't start. I lost my phone.  My alarm didn't go off.  So many excellent excuses.  And now, of course, if we don't want to go somewhere we can just say we need to avoid the Coronavirus.  Actually that's a pretty good reason these days.  Stay well.
