Today has double significance in America but none in Japan. Friday the 13th and Good Friday don’t hold any special meaning here.

Today is “San Rinbou” according to the Japanese calendar on my fridge. I have no idea what that is. Rinbou doesn’t appear in any of my dictionaries, so I think I’ll just concentrate on trying to stay out of the path of black cats and from under ladders today.
