michael c is more than welcome since he qualifies not only as icebreaker at this blog
[for blog it is and not {as it might have seemed} restricted to blood relatives]
but as first footer of 2007
albeit that he is not able to carry a piece of coal across its threshold
and may not even have dark [or any] hair
of hair there will
as my solstitial haircut approaches
be more anon
but meanwhile if michael c should get in touch via website
i can tell him of the gift that i must traditionally give
in exchange for the first footers conceptual coal
