I never reblog my posts but this one was a bit of a premonition. I asked for nothing and we got a year of it.

I love this post all over again. Especially the video game and Tom Waits. Thanks Manja!
Unfortunately the nothing we got this year had no sense of humor… (K)

Oh Manja…….I did a Ragtag Daily Prompt using the word Nothing a while ago. Don’t you remember our “conversation” about me doing it? It was almost a year ago

Oh, of course I remember, Bushboy. I even linked to your prompt, have a look, down there at the end. 🙂 This is the repost of my one-year-old post. It seems so prescient.
