Sustainability
I’ve had to institute a rule with respect to visits to The Book Thing of Baltimore. Only the number of books i drop off can be taken away. I am always enthralled by which authors show up the most: Le Carre, Mitchener, Grisham. Although DR was looking for a copy of Walden, we did not find one - last time there were three. Thinking i had a copy on one of my own shelves, we came back for tea (and homemade cinnamon-raisin bread) to discover i was wrong. Nevertheless, the world’s problems were solved - even if my afternoon was stolen. The big find of the trip was Lives of the Popes. One must never forget to peruse the Christianity section in bookstores/book exchanges - One day i will find that copy of St. Aquinas that i know is just waiting for me.
