Socks and the Settee (Ouch!)

By Jimmy Johnson


I don’t get much exercise. By that, I mean I don’t participate in any regular, repetitive actions where the primary purpose is to move muscles and blood. My physical activity tends to come from whatever project has caught my attention, whether from necessity or for amusement, usually the latter. Being the kind of obsessive personality I am, I tend to go at things all or nothing, so when I’m active, I tend to be very active. Of course, when I’m not active, I sit a lot. So, I figure if I physically work hard two months and sit around the next two months, I’m doing all right on average. Right?

    I wish that a sofa could hold my books. Glad to hear from you. A bladder infection is nothing to fool with as we approach, you know, middle age.

    I am only giving away the nautical and boating books to the museum and nonprofit boat shop I help support in Port Aransas, TX. I kept the rest and still buy gardening, cooking, fiction for myself, travel books, etc.

    That sofa full is because I need more boxes.
