>I am ALWAYS reading SOMETHING, much to the dismay of
my wife.

Randy;

LOL! That sounds like me! I cannot sit still without looking for something to read. If I cannot find a book, magazine or newspaper I read signs and find interesting things about the grammar and meaning of them. An example is while waiting for my wife at Whole Foods Market last Friday, I noticed the sign over the strawberries. “Flat Strawberries - $ 9.99. That got my funny bone! I just imagined someone had squashed the strawberries. This becomes a type of joke, which I share with those whom I am with. My wife is accustomed to this behavior after 36 years of marriage. :)
