The Jinx?

Have you heard of the SI Jinx? SI (Sports Illustrated) is known to jinx players and teams once they are put on the cover of SI. In fact, some well known athletes have turned down the SI cover so as not to be jinxed before a big match or game. Sound crazy? Probably is but one has to wonder when SI puts a black cat on its cover with the title, "The Cover that No One Would Pose for: Is the SI Jinx for Real?"

Why bring this up? Because I'm starting to feel that my blog is a jinx. I do a video blog on Saturday morning showcasing Ira's talents and bragging about how well he's doing and he wakes from his afternoon nap throwing up. Hasn't stopped since.

Need more proof of a jinx? A year ago, I prematurely announced Ira's coming home from the NICU only to realize that we were still weeks away from his departure. It was then that I learned from the NICU nurses not to speak of *going home* because the babies, upon hearing the phrase, decide to stay longer.

So is there a brooklyn and beyond jinx? Maybe, maybe not. It certainly doesn't have the legs to stand beside the SI Jinx but I'll think twice before doing another vlog or writing another post in which I boast of Ira's prowess. ;)
