Note to Self: Do Not Follow Up on This Post

Samuel Butler said that a chicken is an egg’s way of getting to another egg. A guy who should know told me that ants think of California as one big anthill (they kill interlopers). Charlie the tailor went to visit the Vatican. So how was the Pope, his friends asked. Oh, about a 42-long.

It all depends on your point of view.

Somebody, I lose track of whom, says you can regard the world as a network of bookstores and libraries, with dirt in between.

I hear there are people who idle away their lives visiting Starbucks, like birders collecting a life list.

Borders, with a coffee shop, is a lot like McDonald’s with a kiddie playground. Mrs. B knows how to park me there (Borders) for storage while she does whatever it is that she does.

Compared to Starbucks, visiting every Borders shouldn’t be all that hard.

And then there's the story about the two advertising guys who meet in a bar.

"Did you hear? Phil died at the age of 44."

"Only 44? That's shocking! What did he have?"

"Not very much. A local dairy account, a small subsidiary of GM, I think a clothing store."
