An Irrational Fear of the Number 11
It of course started with 9/11. Sometime after those horrific events I contemplated that people with that birthday are now burdened to share that day with that infamous act of terror. Then came the 4/11 Madrid bombings. Now the fear started to turn selfishly personal. See, my birthday is this Friday, 6/11. And with the events of this past week, namely the naming of Friday as a National Day of Mourning in which dozens of heads of state will gather in one building, I fear the potential events. I doubt anything will actually happen in the most secure place in the world, Washington, DC, this Friday. However, any place else..???
