About me When I retired my friends and coworkers asked me what I would do to keep busy. My reply: "I have a thousand books at home, most of which I've only read once, if that, and my local library adds new adult fiction and non-fiction titles at the rate of 200-300 each month. I won't have enough time to read everything I want to read."

I was right. I can't hope to keep up with the new stuff coming out, revisit old favorites, catalog my personal library and monitor internet developments and blogs. I wonder how I had time to do my job for all those years.

About my library Moved into a smaller house so it's time to cull the herd. I'll keep books on transportation (trolleys, buses and trains), Maryland area, Pacific Northwest and some favorite classics. The kiddie lit collection went to my granddaughter. Once I've deleted the items I've sold or given away I'll add my wife's collection of modern fiction. First, though, I'm gonna jump in the pool.
