A Gift of an Afternoon– Reading

April 14, 2015

bookMy friend, Helen, stopped by with a gem, a Type Specimen book from 1906.  A page turner, at least for someone who has become obsessed with letterpress printing.  The ads, in particular, are fascinating. One advertisement reads:

Spring Tours For Men of Leisure, Tired Ministers, Etc.

Hmmmmmm. It’s time for my nap.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end.
