Bill,
You are the lucky one. You are there (!) and we are here (and it may snow any time now in Michigan). Also, you have a way of keeping us on our toes with you humor and interesting messages (nude beaches, discussions of glue, paste and "post-it-note" adhesive).
Your library is enviable and you have the time to read those books. Very Enviable. No, you are not a loser!
