Don't want to appear boastful. Just the facts.
"Tuesday, February 12. It was cold in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of Robbery Division. My partner's ....... My name's Friday."
In my local library, in Ontario Canada, you check out books and cds for three weeks, and dvds for one week. Limit 50 total. There is a small 'Express' bookcase for the latest books, on a one week turnaround.
A few years ago I was on a tear. I took up an tall pile for checkout. The librarian nodding to my books, said 'that's impressive'. I hoisted the stack, made two overhead push ups and said I was in training as I was sure reading would become Olympic sport. She graciously laughed.
Now I'm back on a reading jag and who else can I brag to?
As of today, this year, 67 books (I've kept a spreadsheet since 98).
Not sure of the retention rate, but it's fun. And my wife supports my habit.
Summer's coming so I'll drop off. Hope to beat my 2003 mark of 125.
I also keep track of DVD movies through Collectorz, 65 this year. Watched 319 in 2008.
Isn't retirement great!
