i still haven't picked a new year rune. i'm still reading the introduction, after years of runes. r.'s making cherry clafoutis with the last of fred's 2023 cherries. the last rune masters were in iceland in the 17th century. most folks i guess don't follow the runes anymore. penny lay between us for the six paramitas, and she'll likely be on the radiator platform for the new year runes.
