Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while and this is my 728th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday. Or so sayth the Blogger counter, anyway.

ReplyDeleteInteresting results. Happy Halloween!
