I have a suggestion for a new word game.
One person writes a sentence, and the next person has to use the last word of that sentence as the first word of the next.
The number of words in the sentence increases by one each time, from 2 up to 20, then returns to 2. Please indicate the word count in parentheses after each sentence.
Let us begin:
Have fun. (2)

Someone needs a New Years Resolution, but you are right, Endy, the new
sentence is supposed to begin with the last word of the previous
entry, not just appear somewhere.

Happy New Year, Luke Missouri, the great seal of the state is, united we stand [and] divided we fall. (15) I joked that I was house sitting, going to write my novel (The Shining). We ventured west, travelled through Missouri (post card in every state for my grandmother) and hit treacherous roads in Colorado. A great joy to see Dan, my son. Making a stand in Nevada? Like walking through a whisper...now how does spelling or misspelling relate to candy via Sanskrit?

Pundits pandering for political gain is pointless. (7)
Grand Canyon inspired, like water, know when to be hard and when to be soft. For lily livered list lickers, like me.

Smiled,read the wall poster, when it should have read 'smiling' (11). It is a misconception that Thoreau, New Mexico has much, if anything to do with Henry David Thoreau. Traveling in the early morning hours, before sunrise, one might experience (first hand) a feeling of....smiling. I've never seen so many hawks in Oklahoma as I did today. The experience was definitely worth the turnpike tolls.

There is a hawk, my favorite raptor, which visits my feeders
daily (12).
And also an owl with a 3 foot wingspan.
