    my jar
    of old keys
    forgotten passwords

    —DAN CURTIS

    Ah, I remember having bunches of keys, whether for a car, or a huge bunch of fifty keys I had to carry around each day, on foot! :-)

    I love the dynamic between "old keys" and "forgotten passwords" as it gets my imagination having great choices of making different connections. Love it! :-)

    1. Thank you, Alan, for your generous praise! I'm glad this is working for you. Loved your memory of carrying around fifty keys.
