It's getting harder and harder to tell applegrove and CaliforniaPeggy apart.

1. CP is a veritable F-bomb artiste...

but I can't imagine applegrove saying that unless maybe if she dropped a bowling ball on her toe or something.

2. Me either... she's the bookophiliac part of that morph.

3. I went through a phase in my twenties when I used the fbomb often.

4. Funny... I went through a phase up TO my late twenties where I read a LOT of books...

.
.
.
... sometimes literally (a-ha-ha-ha) a novel-a-day.

College cured me of this syndrome. I had so much REQUIRED reading that it sorta killed the joy of
reading for me for quite a while.
.
.
.
It's just the last ten years or so when I've started reading for pleasure again.

(on edit) Overseas in the Army, we had this barrel-chested BOOMING-voiced cheerful Catholic chaplain who was a
Major in rank, drove a bright red 1964 classic Mercedes Benz and threw these truly legendary ouzo parties. In the
field, some of the guys would try to mess with him, greeting him as he passed with, "How the fuck are ya, Father?"
.
He would never "take the Lord's name in vain", but he'd immediately answer with a hearty, "Pretty fucking good,
guys... how the fuck are YOU?"
.

That guy.
.
.
.
We LOVED that guy.

5. I have not read a book in two months I think. Sometimes you need to rest up for a bit, as with

anything.
