* A blog is born!

In Europe an asterisk is the symbol to indicate date of birth. It was developed by printers during feudal times for use in family trees. One finds it in obituaries of course and on gallery wall labels next to works of art. On American keyboards the symbol is askew, with a horizontal axis; in Europe the vertical is prominent. There are variations on this motif, having from five to eight arms.

I thought this an appropriate shirt with which to begin the blog. It’s from Niki Rae'S Neat Things CafePress.com shop.

So, a new day, a new shirt — maybe more.
