I have the habit of noting the URL's of songs that I enjoy during my dazed stumblings through the Internet. Most of these are Oldies that brought tears to my eye. I save those songs as Comments on my web page. Here are a few of them. In my biased opinion, I lived through a period of wonderful popular music during my years in Detroit, New York, and Philadelphia.

This is a pivotal posting: it marks a new year (2026). It will be the last item of the 2025 edition, and the first item of the 2026 edition. Hours of tedious work ahead to accomplish this and to archive all the 2025 entries. Part of my usual holiday funk -- too many holidays, too many Christmas movies and commercials, plus that annual reminder of passing time, my birthday.

This picture also represents a recurring motif: "JUST DONT FALL", which is the one certainty I have about how other people should live their lives. No matter what legal or medical problems you have right now, friends, you will certainly be worse off if you trip and fall.

Picture contain two different layers:

• Picture of an entrance hall at some institution, with stairway and house cat.
• A decorative pattern I made from a background color and a dingbat font (MTF Leaves) of leaves
