Patrick's future library

On Sunday Kim and I attended a used books paradise- over 100,000 books on all subjects. The sale filled two middle school gyms and several hallways. Better than the selection (which turned out to be rather pedestrian) was the affordability: all books were on sale by the bag. Each grocery bag of books was $10 or three for $25. One of my dreams has always been to have a library in my own house complete with built-in bookshelves, a thick wood table in the middle and so many books on so many subjects that my kids don’t have to go anywhere to do reports or study. Yes, yes, I know what you’re saying: Thanks to the internet they’ll have access to blah, blah, blah. I don’t care. I want the library. And on Sunday I came 75+ books closer to that library.
