   Early on the morning of April 9 my latest mystic attempt   
   failed, probably for the 2000th time, and, frustrated, I said   
   “Fuck you, Goddess, and you can find another fool”.   
      
   (I define Goddess as the ruler of the region all/everything.)   
      
   Then I took the night of April 9 off (and did my tax return).   
      
   Then this evening (April 10) I divined that Goddess is unable   
   to find another qualified fool at such short notice. :-)   
      
   So I apologized to Goddess and began one last (ever)   
   mystic attempt at 9:52 p.m. NDT, two days before the exact   
   time of the Paschal full moon, as I describe in more detail   
   on the “Waxing Clamshell Moon attempt, yet again”   
   thread on alt.religion.druid .   
      
   As I note on there, the 52 reminds me of this snippet of mine:   
      
   "a pack of cards   
   the joker missing   
   seven of hearts   
   prepare to ring"
