What you'd learn about me is that I rarely dust.

Hi Mike, Ah bookshelves, look and know a wonderful strategy toward an introspection of a life and where it's headed. 1969, I was a bit older then and had my head turned around with a live "I Put a Spell on You," by Credence. My son absolutely loved and collected "Calvin..." and has read complete Tolkien about 10 times. I looked into the depths of our natural world way back then and haven't stopped loving it, writing about it, fly-fishing and hiking till I drop. Great posts, Mike, read and fish forever!

Sitting 20 feet from a speaker system at a Led Zeppelin concert in 1975, is why the hearing in my right ear is screwed up. Couldn't completely hear for 3 days afterward. 1969 I was 13 and seeing Hendrix then would have been wonderful. I was playing Voodoo Child in my head just the other day.

It's funny how at our age, books seem to define us more. I have that whole Time/Life Photography collection, other books from when I was a kid. My daughters don't do that as much.

For laughs now and then, I gently take out Issue #1 of Zap comix. We were so sick back then to think some of that stuff was funny.

Have a good New Year Mike.

A person's bookshelves are windows into their soul...thanks for this peek into yours.

Here's to a good year...full of many books. Open, and closed.

I really enjoyed the post. It's funny that you wrote this, Bridget had me go through our bookshelf the other day (nothing more than routine cleaning) but it was fun to organize again what was to be displayed proudly, and what could be relocated to more remote locations.

I look forward to more from the bookshelf.

I enthusiastically agree with your point made on cameras and photography! It is also the basis for that thread of hope to which I hang: good photographs will continue to be made by good photographers, and remain readily distinguishable from the growing swarms of snapshots.

Keep yourself entertained, my friend, and thanks for the thought-provoking post. -R
