Books and other stuff I feel like discussing
By education and experience - Accountant with a specialty in taxation. Formerly a CPA (license has lapsed). Masters degree in law of taxation from University of Denver. Now retired. Part time work during baseball season as receptionist & switchboard operator for the Colorado Rockies. This gig feeds my soul in ways I have trouble articulating. One daughter, and four grandchildren. I share the house with two cats; a big goof of a cat called Grinch (named as a joke for his easy going "whatever" disposition); and Lady, a shelter adoptee with a regal bearing and sweet little soprano voice. I would be very bereft if it ever becomes necessary to keep house without a cat.

Music of the Day
And I got an idea. I don't know how long I can keep this up, but I'm going to try. I plan to pick one CD a day, the music suiting my mood of the moment, and mention what I'm listening to.
To start things off - THE HIGHWAYMAN by the iconic foursome - Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. The title track is by Jimmy Webb, and the album also includes, among others, Guy Clark's DESPERADOS WAITING FOR A TRAIN; Bob Seger's AGAINST THE WIND; and Woody Guthrie's PLANE WRECK AT LOS GATOS. I can never listen to Guthrie's song, in any rendition by any artist without weeping. I hope (and I doubt) that day never comes.
It's a nice selection for Independence Day. Quintessentially American, with a pleasant mix of pathos, rhythm, humor, and nostalgia.
