So, what's it like having two places where you can pile your unread (and read) books?

:o)
Hope all is well!

Glad the book reminded you of your younger "Ahhhhh ...." times. I have a whole bag of things that I always wanted to do in Life, but never did because (fill in the blank). Among them are play the bagpipes (and a harp), climb Mount Washington, stand on the top of the Great Pyramid, walk the labyrinth at Chartres, meditate in a mossy garden in Kyoto (having to, unfortunately, imagine that the sound of 10,000 Nikons clicking away are only crickets).
Also on the list is to have my own sauna (or hot tub - I added two of those books too). Who knows .... maybe this year?
Do you think that one could safely play a harp in a sauna? Hmmm...
Anyhow, thanks for dropping in on my page.
