When we last left it, the incapacitated bookmobile was camping out under the stars. At the end of the week it was repaired, and the last two weeks have been about as normal as it gets.
This past Friday, a patron told me, "It's not easy getting old," a sentiment that I hear quite a bit. She selected five or six books; I checked them out, and she continued to browse. A couple of minutes went by, then she asked, "Have I gotten anything yet?"
The moral of this story is obvious, yet so often overlooked by so many of us--myself included. As Warren Zevon put it, "Enjoy every tuna fish sandwich."
I hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend. Happy Fireworks!
