So apparently it was on this day in 1664 that the Dutch surrendered New Amsterdam, which was then renamed New York.
I've been working away on that short story I was 'practically finished' a week ago. Spent much of yesterday trying to find a suitable pope who had died of poisoning. It's fair to say I was off on something of a tangent.
Anyway, nearly there now, for real.
Have a lovely weekend :)

Reminds me of a saying in Michigan: 'If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much!'
Or double Dutch?
:) Indeed it did belong to the Dutch twice. They got it back in '73, and called it 'New Orange'. Like that was ever gonna last...
