Dear Abby's 'oops'

DEAR ABBY: Ever since 2/02/02 I have created dinner parties or luncheons to celebrate days with unique numbers. On 5/05/05 (Cinco de Mayo) I had Mexican food with my family. On 6/06/06, six of us went out to lunch. The opening night of the Beijing Olympics was on 8/08/08, so eight of us had Chinese take-out while watching the event.
I plan to continue this tradition until 12/12/12. With 9/09/09 coming up, my daughter suggested "Dress to the Nines" as the theme. Isn't that cute? One of life's greatest pleasures is to share a meal with friends. -- CLAIRE IN BETHLEHEM, PA.

DEAR CLAIRE: I agree. While food fills the stomach, the company of friends and loved ones can be more gratifying because it fills the heart and feeds the soul.

P.S. I hope that 13/13/13 isn't a Friday.

So who wants to tell Abby that there isn't a 13th month?

[Ree]

Gotta wonder how that got past an editor.

[XCashier]

I think she just made a joke. A feeble one, but a joke.

[ReadyToRetire]

Well, she is getting kind of old, so it may have not been a joke.

Operating on a Lunar Tick calendar, perhaps?

Lousy Smarch weather!
