It’s Friday the 13th
June 13th, 2008 Categories: Events
Crofton real estate activity is picking up, and it’s a beautiful sunny day.
But it’s Friday, the 13th – considered “unlucky” in many cultures. According to Wikipedia, more than 67 million people are affected by fear of this day, called paraskavedekatriaphobia. In fact, some people are so paralyzed by this fear they avoid their normal routines like doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. $800 - $900 million is lost in business on any Friday the 13th.
If you’re thinking of changing your routine today, what are you going to do? How about watching a baseball game or movie, cruising on the Baltimore or Annapolis Harbour, or sightseeing in our local area:
