It's only words -- lots and lots of them

I have so many unread books in my library that I would need two lifetimes to finish reading them. So what do I do? That's right, I go out and buy more books.

Instead of reading those books, I could spend the rest of my days trying to decipher the lyrics of "Tin Man," as recorded by the group America. For example: "And Cause never was the reason for the evening/Or the tropic of Sir Galahad."

You know what's really painful: when they give you a senior discount without your asking. Then again, I saved 9 cents on my latest purchase.

One reason my wife and I have gotten along these past 42 years is because we tell each other, "Do what you want. You will, anyway."
