a little birdie told me so: Update

Update

The consensus seems to be for each person to send eleven cards and get eleven back. The due date to get all those cards to me will be by September 30th. Mail them to me in a bubble envelope or something equally protective. Make sure they have the correct postage for the USA. For anyone outside the USA I will add the postage myself to make it easier for you if you need me too. You can make your cards personal by addressing them to the recipient you have in mind for each card. I'll add the corresponding address and drop them all back in the mail to each of you. Pretty soon we'll all have lots of mail on the way to us. I will email you all my address very shortly. Any other suggestions please drop me a note.

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."

...."We were Birds Without Wings. You were a robin and I was a blackbird. And there were some who were eagles or vultures or pretty gold finches, but none of us had wings. For birds with wings nothing changes. They fly where they will and they know nothing about borders and their quarrels are very small. But we are always confined to earth, no matter how much we climb to the high places and flap our arms. Because we cannot fly we are condemned to do things that do not agree with us. Because we have no wings we are pushed into struggles and abominations that we did not seek and then after all that, the years go by. The mountains are leveled. The valleys rise. The rivers are blocked by sand and the cliffs fall into the sea." -Louis De Berniere

Who Said It First?

The phrase "little birdie told me so" may find it's origins in this Bible verse. "Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say" (Ecclesiastes 10:20). The earliest form of the saying was included in John Heywood's collection of proverbs (1546). In 1583, Brian Melbancke wrote in 'Philotimus'" 'I had a little bird, that brought me newes of it.' In 1711, in 'Letter to Stella,' Jonathan Swift came close to the current version: 'I heard a little bird say so.'
