View From the Bushes

The weekend is upon us and I for one could not be more grateful. This week seemed particulary taxing for some reason, so I'm glad to be nearing the end. Plus, I'm looking forward to the semiannual used book sale at the city library. It's become quite the tradition to wake up early so that we can be standing at the front of the line when the doors open at seven. My wife will tell you that I haven't read the books from the last sale, but that's really not the point for me. The point for me is to have a library. I feel pretty good about the number of books I have, but you can always have more.

We used to have breakfast before the sale, which meant waking up around 4:30 (or earlier, depending on where we were going for breakfast). To be candid, I have no idea why we did it that way, but a couple of years ago we wised up and started going to breakfast after the sale, which works out much better, though it's still something of a trial to wake up at 5:00 am on a Saturday, but then that's part of what makes the experience unique. In any event, my joy over the coming weekend has overshadowed any desire to continue writing so I'll end here.
