Machado - Outra Vez

Noting that today is the anniversary of the birth of the Brazilian writer Machado de Assis, I was just about to launch into a blog post on the subject when I thought - hang on a minute, this feels familiar... Sure enough, I wrote about Machado de Assis on this day three years ago - and here's the proof.
  I guess the longer a blog goes on, the more posts accumulate - and the older the blogger gets - the higher is the risk of repetition. On the other hand, would anyone notice? Three years is a long time in Blog Years. But don't worry - I don't intend to make a habit of repeating myself. Or make a habit of repeating myself.
