$13., 13 Prayers, & 13 Lucky Ducky's in a Row &&&&&&&&&&&&&

And so now to deal with "unlucky 13".  I googled and came to a site: 13 Reasons Why People Think Number 13 is Unlucky.  Note at #13 in the list:

13. SUPER BOWL XIII WAS A HUGE FINANCIAL SETBACK FOR SPORTS BOOKIES.

And keeping with sports, 1979's Super Bowl XIII was a particularly bad one for bookies. Called "Black Sunday," it pitted the Dallas Cowboys, the defending champions, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But as money kept pouring in from Texas and Pennsylvania, the spread kept changing until settling precisely at the game’s actual spread. The losses were legendary.

 The "And keeping with sports" in the above implies that there was something before.  And yes,  check out number 12 in the list:

12. SPORTS GREATS WITH JERSEY NUMBER 13 SOMETIMES COME UP SHORT.

Dan Marino is a constant fixture at or near the top of any "best quarterbacks to never win a Super Bowl" list. Perhaps his failure to grab the biggest prize in football comes down to his jersey number—13. And he's not the only example: Basketball star Steve Nash was a two-time NBA MVP and is considered one of the all-time great point guards, but he and his #13 jersey never won a championship.

First of all, the name "Steelers" is phonetically identical to "Stealers"... and so an addition to the recent "Rob/ Thief Theme" pattern-cluster.  At least at #12 above,  we have two names, note from their wiki pages

•  Stephen John Nash (born February 7, 1974), is a Canadian former
• Daniel Constantine Marino Jr. (born September 15, 1961)

It's too soon to tell, butt they are meant to set the pace.   I will say this, number 7 is considered "Lucky", and so we have an "Opposite/Reversal" pattern-cluster.  So it seems that September 15 is "unlucky"... especially when you look at the surname Marino : it's a cryptic combination of "Marine eau (water in French)" and "mar in eau" or in other words... mar in water/Ocean!!  AND/OR it could be "mar I no".

Note from the  Super Bowl XIII wiki page:

National anthem	The Colgate Thirteen

I'm sure there was a "13" strategy behind That choice!!!  Note from the groups wiki page:

... an undergraduate all-male a cappella group at Colgate University.   Established in 1942, the group is named for the 13 men who founded the university in 1819, each offering $13 and 13 prayers

Note from the Colgate University wiki page:

 Among the trustees was William Colgate...

William Colgate (January 25, 1783 – March 25, 1857)

• James Boorman Colgate (March 4, 1818 – February 7, 1904), son of William Colgate 

And so we now have a  "February 7(x2) " pattern-cluster.  And note, add another 7 to this date and we come to February 14-- Valentines Day!!  Of the 10 members of the board of directors of Colgate-Palmolive 3 have birthdays listed:

• Delano Lewis (born November 12, 1938)
• Helene Gayle (born August 16, 1955)
• Nikesh Arora (born 9 February 1968)

We now have a "Februrary 7(x2), __, 9/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.   And Lewis' birthday is an additon to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster, as in one off from 11/11.
Note the following 3 excerpts from the Super Bowl XIII wiki page:

• The NFL awarded Super Bowl XIII to Miami on June 14, 1977

Date	January 21, 1979

•  The Steelers defeated the Cowboys by the score of 35–31.  

First of all, US President Donald Trump's birthday is "June 14"... and one off from my own of June 13.  January 21 is also the birthday of my daughter.  And note the score of the Cowboys : 31 is a reverse of "13".  One would think that 31 being the "reverse/opposite" of unlucky 13 would make it lucky... butt not for the Cowboys obviously.  The inner twin world's way of saying that they make 13 as they want to make it-- unlucky/lucky.  Note the following  from the opening section of the Super Bowl XIII wiki page:

• Steelers Terry Bradshaw eclipsed Bart Starr's Super Bowl record ... His 75-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter also tied Johnny Unitas in Super Bowl V for the longest pass in a Super Bowl.

Note from the wiki pages of the three mentioned above:

• Terry Paxton Bradshaw (born September 2, 1948) 
• Bryan Bartlett "Bart" Starr (born January 9, 1934) 
• John Constantine Unitas (May 7, 1933 – September 11, 2002),  

Unitas date of death continues with the "unlucky" tone.  Although his birthday gives us another "lucky" 7, and so a "February 7(x2) __, __ , May 7/7th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.
Note from Johnny Unitas' (#19) wiki page:

• nicknamed "Johnny U" and "The Golden Arm"
• For 52 years he held the record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass (which he set between 1956 and 1960), until quarterback Drew Brees broke his long standing record on October 7, 2012. 

• Drew Christopher Brees (born January 15, 1979) 

January 15 is also the birthday of my son and life partner who are 22 years apart
And so the Pittsburg Steelers (aka "Stealers") lineup for the game:

• Franco Harris (born March 7, 1950) #32, 34
• Lynn Curtis Swann (born March 7, 1952) 
•  Robert Patrick "Rocky" Bleier (born March 5, 1946
• Jon Kolb (born August 30, 1947) 
• Samuel Davis (born July 4, 1944) 
• Curt Randy Grossman (born September 20, 1952)
• Michael Lewis Webster (March 18, 1952 – September 24, 2002) 
• L. C. Henderson Greenwood (September 8, 1946 – September 29, 2013) 
• Charles Edward Greene (born September 24, 1946)
• Stephen Robert "Steve" Furness (December 5, 1950 – February 9, 2000)
• John Arthur Banaszak (born August 24, 1950) 
• Jack Raphael Ham Jr. (born December 23, 1948) 
• John Harold Lambert (born July 8, 1952)
• Donnie Shell (born August 26, 1952)
• Michael Robert Wagner (born June 22, 1949) 

The first two birthdays generate a "March 7(x2)" pattern-cluster.  AND, also an addition to the cluster above, expanding it into a : "February 7(x2) March 7(x2), __ , May 7/7th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Leaving us with a single gap, and in turn is open for investigation as per the rules.  Butt lets wait on that.  And then tying in is Rocky's birthday, generating a "March 5, __, 7(x2)" pattern-cluster.  Another gap ready for bridging.  And look at all the Septembers!!  We might want to check back to other posts today ... and yesterday to see how extensive the cluster is.  Two of the surnames, Green and Greenwood stand out in that they generate a "Green" pattern-cluster that's also an addition to the recent "Colour Theme" pattern-cluster.  AND adding to this cluster is my granddaughter whose middle name is "Greenlee" and she lives near the airforce base where I spent my teens: Greenwood.  As well, note the birthdays of Banaszak and Shell, and note from my previous post:

• George Corley Wallace Jr.(August 25, 1919 – September 13, 1998)

August 25 is the birthday of my granddaughter. 

And so an "August 24, 25(x2), 26/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster!!

And the first two not only share the same birthday, butt their names speak volumes... cryptic that is. Franco Harris is a cryptic "harrowing frankness/truth".  And Swann is meaningful given the twinn 'nn'... a signature that's also designed to single out "Swan".  The number 2 is a number that looks like a simple line drawing of a "swan"... and "2" is the inner twin world's number--it reflects them ... and my inner twins name is Tou (a version of two/too/to).  So check out Swann's wiki page:

• Chairperson of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition
• Swann spent his entire NFL career with the Steelers and wore jersey # 88.

President	George W. Bush
Preceded by	Lee Haney

His jersey was #88... twin numbers are another signature of the inner twin world and 8 shares the same key on my keyboard as the *... so he's a double **... and indeed, he's a football hero and a politician... and he's a player in the inner twin worlds "Starr Family Production"!!  Note from the wiki pages of Lee Haney and George W. Bush:

• Lee Haney (born November 11, 1959)
• George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) 

And so the cluster from the previous post expands into a:

• "__, __, __, 4/4(x2), 5/5(x3), __, __, 8/8, 9/9, __, 11/11, __/Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.  

And now for the  Dallas Cowboys lineup: 

• Randall Lee White (born January 15, 1953) 
• Dwight Douglas "D. D." Lewis (born October 16, 1945) 
• Robert Fulton Newhouse (January 9, 1950 – July 22, 2014) 
• Charlie Tutan Waters (born September 10, 1948)
• Thomas Michael Rafferty (born August 2, 1954) 
• Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson (born March 1, 1953) 
• Billy Joe DuPree (born March 7, 1950) 
• Drew Pearson (born January 12, 1951) 
• Anthony Drew Dorsett (born April 7, 1954) 
• Ed Lee "Too Tall" Jones (born February 23, 1951) 
• Robert Paul Breunig (born July 4, 1953) 
• Benny Jewell Barnes (born March 3, 1951)
• Aaron Douglas Kyle (born April 6, 1954)
• Clifford Allen Harris (born November 12, 1948)

First of all, Barnes date of death, 3/3, is an addition the now expanded:

• "__, __, 3/3, 4/4(x2), 5/5(x3), __, __, 8/8, 9/9, __, 11/11, __/Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.  

Secondly, note the "White" and "Wight" in the names of the first two listed.  Another addition to the "Colour Theme" and the "White" pattern-cluster.  And then note the "house" in the third name Newhouse. So putt the three together and you get "White House"!!   And not only that, in both lists, we have two July 4th... very meaningful when considering that 3 of the first 5 US Presidents died on July 4th, note the Header of this blog:

On July 4th, 3 Of the first "5" US Presidents had died: Jefferson "5" hours before Adams, and Monroe "5" years later on the "55th" Independence Day. 

A definite "White House/ Presidents" pattern-cluster in the works. And note from my previous post

• Hans Anthony Beimler (July 10, 1953)
• Jay Chattaway (born July 8, 1946) 

So we also have a "July 4(x5), __, July 6, __, July 8, __, July 10/ Even Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.

 And do note the birthday of DuPree and Dorsett that are expansions to clusters above:

• "March 7(x3)" pattern-cluster.
• "February 7(x3) March 7(x2), April 7, May 7, June 7, __/ 7th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster

It's obvious, a prompt to investigate July 7th aka 7/7.  Note from the July 7 wiki page:

• July 7 is the 188th day of the year (189th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 177 days remaining

Another twin 77... and 88!!  And so venturing to the July 7 wiki page ... butt this time deviating away from the usual formula and instead looking through the list of Notable Deaths, Births and Events that occurred in a 1777.  There was only one:

• 1777 – American forces retreating from Fort Ticonderogaare defeated in the Battle of Hubbardton.

Note the following info on the leaders of the Battle:

Ebenezer Francis †  Nathan Hale (September 23, 1743 – September 23, 1780)    Seth Warner(May 17, 1743 [O.S. May 6, 1743] – December 26, 1784)

Simon Fraser(1729 – 7 October 1777)   Baron Riedesel(3 June 1738 – 6 January 1800

 And so the cluster expands:

• "February 7(x3) March 7(x2), April 7, May 7, June 7, July 7, __, __, October 7/ 7th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster

And so we have 7 dates.  Keep in mind that 7 shares the same key on my keyboard as the & symbol... that happens to look like the line drawing of a duck.  And hey, "lucky ducky".  By now we must have 13 lucky ducky's in a row!? And of course, the other cluster is expanded:

• "__, __, 3/3, 4/4(x2), 5/5(x3), __, 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, __, 11/11, __/Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.  

And so we now have a 3rd "single" gap that's open game to be bridged according to the rules.

Note from Newhouse wiki page re his son, also a football player:

 Reginald Jahon Newhouse (born February 16, 1981) 

I didn't go over the January cluster, because just by reading todays post you'll see just how prominent it is.
