15 years ago, we received our tax refund check in the mail and, as I was in the process of reorganizing my bookshelves .. at the time, I had over 2000 hardback books.. I absentmindedly placed the check inside of one of the books.
Two days later, when I realized what I had done, my late-wife and I had to tear it all apart again to find it.
And you know what they say ... when you lose something, you find it in the last place you look and, take it from me, 2000 books are a lot of last places ...
Since that time, it has been directly deposited.
as one who also has lots of books and is aging, the question rises....... what will become of them?
