There were never such devoted sisters
I woke up singing this song. It’s called ‘Sisters’. Sung by Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen in the 1954 film, “White Christmas”. Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are the male leads in the film. You’ve probably seen it running on cable channels during the winter holiday season.
I have four sisters, any one with which I would sing this song.
Sisters
Sisters
There were never such devoted sisters
I usually sing that lyric from the beginning of the song and this one from from the end:
Those who’ve
Seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many men have tried to split us up but no one can
Lord help the mister
Who comes between me and my sister
And Lord help the sister
Who comes between me and my man
It’s not quite autobiographically appropriate for me, but fun to sing nevertheless. Besides, once a song like this gets into your brain, it stays there and you just have to give in and belt it out to your household.

Meg,
Since you’ve now mastered blogs, the next step is to take on the Wikipedia!
Seems like a natural to add your new-found definition of wick.
I will continue reading your blog, since I have much more important things I should be doing.

Yeah - I thought of wiki and wondered about the connection to wick, but I just wanted to complete the post! I think words and their relations could go on an on…
