Day: September 5, 2014

* My brother worked for the library and one of his jobs was keeping the bookmobiles cleaned up and running. The two trucks were identical down to the broken mirrors on the passenger side. One day he took the first van to the gas station and told the attendant to “fill it up”. A little later he came back with the second truck and again asked for a fill up. The attendant looked a little sideways at him and queried, “Doesn’t get very good mileage does it?”

My children received the video of Cinderella as a summer gift, they watched it almost nonstop for three days. Since it was warm outside, we kept the windows open. The neighbors were having their roof reshingled by three burly men. As I went out to get the mail one afternoon, I heard singing, “Put it together and what do you get,” from the other side of the house came a chorus of two more husky voices:  “Bibity, Bobity Boo.”

@ “Have you ever loved before?”  He asked. “No, no John, I have admired men for their good looks, courage, wealth or intelligence, but with you it is just love, nothing else.”
