In college, those record companies stuffed every book in the bookstore with multiple cards to sign up. So, a group of “people” decided to have a contest to create the most ridiculous name and actually get the CD’s delivered… I’m not saying who won… ---

I have the devil for a conscience, but fortunately I have given final executive authority to Reason. Objectively, to an outsider, I’m a good guy. But I know what the filters catch. And, [a song about that](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsMsSFXMMv4). ---

> [@Lancia](#): > > I still owe a lot of money to Columbia House. I got talked into signing up for one of those bulk magazine subscriptions over the phone. I was getting like eight magazines and the only one I ever read was The New Yorker. I’m such a people pleaser it took me ages to cancel. I once fell for a very obvious eBay scam. I shipped my laptop to Indonesia and I would have lost it if the post office hadn’t called me to tell me it was a scam. I am in some respects incredibly naive. My husband would not let me live that one down, and I don’t mean he teased me about it, I mean that he never stopped worrying I would get taken advantage of again. He still thinks I’m a danger to myself. He may be correct. ---

From that poem? > Oh what do I do, what do I do? > This library book is 42 years overdue. Something about not being able to afford the fine. That’s about all I got. It’s a short poem. My favorite one is > Are wild strawberries really wild? > Will they scratch an adult? Will they snap at a child? > Should you cage them? Or let them run free where they roam? > Could they ever relax in a steam-heated home? > And though they may curl up at your feet oh so sweetly > Can you ever feel that you trust them completely? I did that from memory but my son has recently discovered the joy of Silverstein so I may have gotten a refresher. ---

When I was a teenager I put my dad’s lug wrench in the trunk of my car. I thought I might need it to change a tire someday, and it was better than the crappy one that came with the car. Then I moved across the country after college. 30 years later, I still have his lug wrench. I think Dad thinks he just misplaced it. On a completely different note, it’s more than three weeks after Labor Day. I’m currently wearing white. ---

This is not easy for me to admit, but I’ve reached the age where I can speak my mind with nary a care about how others may view me. I like the song MacArthur Park. The oft-criticized lyrics fit the tune and are based on real events, the melody is gorgeous (fun to play on the piano), and the vocals are what I would call appropriate. And now the song will reside in your brain for a while. So there you go. mmm ---
