Read any Good Books Lately?
I am always buying computer books. And computer books are really expensive, ranging from $15-$100, depending on the thickness.
Do I read these computer books? That’ll be a no.
For my new job they wanted someone who knows Access. Well, I used to know Access, but I haven’t used it in years. So I went out and bought two books on Access. I figured I’d take one to the office with me, in case I need it. I can tell each book apart purely by haptic clues (one is thicker than the other).
I thought that I’d practice my Access skills at home before starting the job. I did that for about half an hour. Then I was bored with it. But, if I want to read about it… I’ve got a couple of good books that go along with all the other good books I’d like to read.
While I was at Chapters I decided that I had to have one of those little day calendars that sit on your desk.
I only decided I needed one because they were 75% off (after all, it is the new year already).
So I bought this “Word of the Day” calendar, guaranteed to increase my vocabulary. You certainly don’t need a frivolous day calendar that will just give you amusement with a cartoon when you can enrich and enhance your life by learning, each and every day.
Perhaps a more maeutic approach helps my yeasty brain to learn, as long as I’m not roistering til the wee hours with the glitterati. The litmus test will be to see whether I can remember any of these words, since I’m old. Not that I’m whinging; far from it, since the issue is de minimus.
Ok, that’s enough.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
