I am constantly getting candles or bath salts from my in-laws for gifts.  It’s become a running joke for me.  They think I’m hard to shop for but quite simply…just pretend I’m a retired, 68-year-old male librarian when you shop for me.  Scotch, slippers, woolly things and dusty books suit me just fine.

Chest pains!
Really, body? You’re not even forty yet. This is ridiculous.   I am NOT giving up my bad habits. Death before decaf.
