This quotation from Neil Gaiman that Purpleborough has posted means a lot to me. I’ve already started making my mistakes for 2015. Such a relief: The teacup is already broken.
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.”
― Neil Gaiman

I’ve had quite a few good years, by this reckoning. I like it, too. You gotta be out there swinging, right?

Yep. Maybe that’s why you’ve been so successful.
Of course, since the advent of the Internet and the WWW and blogs, my mistakes have become very public. And the latest was on the HOTXSINC blog, and the subject kindly and tactfully notified me, and I fixed it . . . And it’s the second one of that magnitude, and about an author . . . And at least I’ll get another blog post out of it. After I’ve crawled out from under the porch.

Please do crawl out from there. It’s cold tonight down your way.

You are really kind to mention me. It is in the public domain and that was not necessary but I thought it was nice. Thank you and Happy New a Year.

I like the quotation very much. If you hadn’t brought it to my attention, I’d never have seen it. So I think you deserve attribution, too. Happy New Year to you as well.
