1. Share my current earworm:
The tradition going back over 100 years was that the singers in Roby Mill (which is a few miles west of Wigan in Lancashire in the north west of England) would be given a large bag of keys with which they would let themselves into the farm houses and cottages around Roby Mill in the early hours of New Years day. They would sing this and other songs downstairs as the hosts slept or listened upstairs, and would then leave, locking the door and posting the key through the letter box as they went. ...Which I think is rather sweet...
2. Also called Cousin Toni to wish her a happy New Year and reestablish contact. She was not at home... I think she may be on her annual extended vacation with Bob.
3. Now on to my third thing -- My main desire for 2014: writing with an eye for making it public / publishable, and published! ...Starting with that anthology constructed out of "Plato's Nightmare / Aesop's Dream."
I'll put off worry and sorrow for another day.
