“Rabbit!” It’s an old English tradition that was passed down by my Grandad. One is supposed to say “Rabbit” first thing in the morning, before saying anything else. The first person to say it will have good luck for the month. Today, my cousin remembered before I did, but I remembered before an old high school friend. Does that mean I’ll have some good luck? That would be welcomed. At this point, I’m just looking for a day with no new cases in NH. I’m wishing you, and all of us, a good month. So please, stay safe, and always, be kind.
