reminder from Elle:  don't forget to put coins outside your door tonight and bring them back in first thing tomorrow, for prosperity in the new year.


additional insurance:  we were on a lovely boat today, and the owner was putting coins on all the stairs to ensure good fortune.  She said it was a Chinese custom.  I can find nothing about this on line, but am testing it out here anyway.

  2. Will do! I already put coins under the doormat, but coins on the stairs certainly sounds like good feng shui!

    Happy New Year to you two sailors! We are thinking about you tonight as we head off to Berkeley Rep for the Lemony Snicket play "The Composer is Dead" starring - Geoff Hoyle!!!!!

    Ben is in So Cal with his honey, heads back up here tomorrow and will go back to NYC on the 3rd.
    Mwuh, mwuh!
