What Comes First
the words or the music?
I don’t suppose many people noticed, but I haven’t posted anything for a few days. What nobody noticed? Oh well. 😂
There are several reasons for my absence without leave regarding posting. Obviously with Christmas looming on the horizon there are plenty of distractions and perfectly genuine reasons for me to be missing in action.
Now I am not going to list all of these pathetic excuses for my lack of work ethic, but there are two that may strike a nerve with some of the writers here. Of course they may not, but I am going to write about them anyway.
I mean if you read this far, surely your curiosity has been aroused. I hope so.
The first problem concerns my handwriting.
My handwriting has never been my strong point, despite several attempts over the years to improve, it remains almost illegible. It would be flattering if it could be described as spidery. Unfortunately, it resembles handwriting produced by a spider who has consumed a whole bottle of malt whiskey; it’s all over the place.
Why has your bad handwriting stopped you from posting here? I hear you ask.
My wife and I divide our Christmas card writing between her friends and relatives and my friends and relatives. My share of this yuletide…
