You know I have no idea, David. This year I haven't written much (except in
a collaboration). Other years I'vr managed quite a bit. And look at the
other Douglas, insisting he has nothing to write, but there are all those
past ones, & the new one saying I can't write, but he does (don't you
Douglas?) while listening, again, to Dylan..
