Apropos of Nothing

It is the end of the year and I want to memorialize a few things I seem to think of more times than not.

I've  used the following at the beginning of a volume of my postings, but I think it's worth repeating:

"How bad can the year have been if you're alive at the end of it?"

Just something to think about as the calendar year changes.

Another is one I just uttered to an elderly fellow at the cash register at the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center, Vermont where I was buying a Warren Kimble Calendar for the coming year.

As he was looking it over, flipping back and forth, I just said:

"How high do the numbers go?" He didn't pick up the reference at first, but then he realized I was asking how high will the year numbers go? We were already significantly past the year 2000 when I was buying the calendar.
