Books? Old books?
The edition of The New York Public Library Desk Reference we have might be a little outdated, but the rules of ice hockey haven’t changed, nor the way in which one addresses a letter to the Pope, nor the date of the discovery of Krypton. (Some of you thought it was just a Superman thing, didn’t you? Nope—1898, the year before aspirin.)

Thank you, Susan Gaissert, for pointing out my "interesting" typo. I was literally on drugs. I had dental surgery with "twilight sedation," which lasts all day. I slept most of that time, but woke up to check e-mail and do a Just Add Light. :-)
ReplyDeleteBut drugs or no drugs, please let me know if I've misspelled or badly punctuated or if the link doesn't work, or if I've misattributed a photo or something.
Thanks for reading!
