One Christmas job finished
I printed my annual newsletter this afternoon. Apart from the photocopying tomorrow, that's it out of the way for another year. I had to print it three times because I kept finding mistakes. No matter how carefully I check something there will always be a mistake. A few years ago I used the wrong form of principal; I put principle, and had to ditch all my thirty photocopies. At least I spotted the error before I had posted them. Another year I wrongly used the word metaphor; it should have been simile. That still bugs me. Chances are the recipients have long since forgotten.
Thought for today
Men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they were born, the city apartment or farm in which they learned to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives' tales they overheard, the foods they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read and the God they believed in.
W Somerset Maugham, The Razor's Edge
