You're a great guy Tom. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it. The three of us are spread out quite a bit though with you on the east coast, Moose on the west coast, and me in Texas. Someday I hope to get my books better organized than they are. Right now they're spread out too in bookcases all over the house. :) * * *

Are we related? I have about 3,000 books in storage that I haven't set eyes on in about 5 years. I'm gonna get those here sometime in the next couple of months, I have no idea where I'll put them. :) Here's my story: My books went with me to Alaska I packed them in boxes The barge man said sure That will be a dollar a pound Grumbling a bit I paid Ten years in a damp climate Felt more like twenty But the books liked it, Sniffing salt air from their shelves Where I kept them dry But not too dry When it came to pass that it was time I packed my books in boxes I'll sort them out later I told myself The barge man said sure That will be a dollar a pound Grumbling a bit I paid I put all those boxes In the cool below ground The books liked it, Sniffing radon from the foundation Where I kept them dry But not too dry They waited patiently on my priorities Until bookshelves at Costco Made in China I didn't like that But they were affordable I bought three thinking I would cull my books And take one back Maybe Two full boxes Duplicate titles Somebody will want them One each is enough, Maybe I'll keep first editions Four identical Stephen Vincent Benet Bookshelves at Costco Made in China I don't like that I need two more If there are any left Tomorrow the sign said A yard sale Sometimes they sell books I could use another Stephen Vincent Benet James D.
