thing 13 (bad luck), part 1

Okay, the counter looked great but was full of zeros. Harumph. No matter what I did, it would not activate. My lovely coworker (and she knows who she is!) suggested trying ticker factory instead. While the counter doesn't show every second of the day (at my age, I shouldn't be that excited about counting down to my birthday!), it will be a daily reminder that I am getting older (and, even if I have to say it myself, better!). So much for that activity....
