Rabbit, Rabbit!

Once upon a time, I had a fifth grade teacher named Mrs. Varga (also known as Miss Kapral, before she got married). She taught us that being the first to say "rabbit, rabbit" to someone on the first of each month will bring you good luck and bestow bad luck upon the other person for the rest of the month. I'm not trying to curse all of you for the month of August, but everyone can use a little good luck every now and again (it is currently now and again for me). In addition to receiving bad luck, you may not repeat the phrase "rabbit, rabbit" to anybody else in hopes of regaining your good luck. So if you are reading this, and it's August the First, I apologize for giving you all bad luck. And if it makes you feel any better, virtual "rabbit, rabbits" probably don't even count for anything. Now go "rabbit, rabbit" yourselves into some goos luck!
