Oh, I know. I just thought it was funny that I came across it so soon after this. I don't hear the word "spinning" often, y'know? Meryl K. Evans’s last blog post..Short, Powerful and Favorite Books

You must have fun talking about spinning because a lot of these words are a blast. My favorites are spindle, niddy noddy, and bobbin. There's another kind of spinner too. I used to see them at Grateful Dead concerts (no, not in the sixties - in the early nineties). They just spin to the music, whirling round and round.

Glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun writing it, too, and ended up sitting in my room, looking around to see if there were any obvious pieces of equipment I'd missed (grin). Well ...
