Brand New Day

Van Morrison rounds out this week of "Brand New Day" songs.  It's been fun to hear all the different versions of brand new days. :)
This is a live rendition from Morrison and I hadn't heard it until this morning.  I like it. Morrison taps into the figurative brand new day instead of the literal. 
And while I want to say more about the song I am so distracted by the Royal Wedding and the brand new day and life Prince William and Kate have just begun that I'm just going to sign off.  :)

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
