Letting the Days Go By (Same As It Ever Was)

About those vacation books … It turns out I HAD read Wuthering Heights before … at least once! It only took 20 pages or so to confirm the suspicion. Oh well, third time’s a charm.

I remember a few years ago when I was lying in bed ploughing through Cold Sassy Tree. After a while I said, “You know, hon, I think I’ve read this before … in fact, I’m sure of it.” My wife said, “Do you think I would enjoy it?” “Sure,” I said. A few days went by before she said, “I think I’ve read this before, too!” When we moved to Houston I believe we found at least 2 copies within our stuff. Oh well. Old age.

God willing, I shall return to the Republic of Texas tonight — reading Catcher in the Rye. Thanks for your prayers.
