- a fortune cookie follow up
- lucky pennies and the silliness of the "heads up only" school of thought
- red for the Chinese New Year (and "Wear Red Day")
- luck being of the devil (I honestly had never considered this before.)
- my lucky objects
- how the Mister and I certainly didn't sweep away our good luck by cleaning when the lunar New Year actually arrived, and temporarily without hot water, have not washed it away much either.
- the superstitions of scientists
- rat symbolism
- wow, the internet is full of weird stuff. The Penny Preistess Answers Your Questions ?, indeed.
- the distinctions between luck, coincidence, fortune, faith, fate, God's will, magic, superstition, wishes, charms, hope, work and belief.
While I I envisioned myself learning about specific good luck traditions (e.g. pennies or red), I find myself pondering the last point a great deal these days. I hope to keep you posted on what, if anything, I figure out. In the meantime, I'd be interested in what luck means to you, relative the the rest of the terms.

I divide luck into 2 categories: the unexpected good fortune, and the narrow escape from something bad. Recently, I found an umbrella that someone had left on a bus, after having lost 2 umbrellas of my own on the train this year. That's the first kind of luck. I don't think I've had any of the second kind lately, but it's harder to tell.
I will soon post about the second kind.

I am faschinated by your "theme" for the year.
I noticed you left off your list tapping the ceiling of the car when you go through a yellow light - is that for luck? I imagine you don't run through many yellow lights at o this time, as you walk to work so much.
