With apologies to my sister Joanne for not reading this two-volume encyclopedia set she gave me Christmas 1987. But really, do you think you will still be using your e-book twenty-six years from now? When back and neck aches led me to go ergonomic, the first place I turned was that trusty set of encyclopedias.

I can't be the only one with worn out roller shades that won't stay down when you close them. Okay, maybe I am the only one who would move this stack of books back and forth two times a day instead of taking a trip to the hardware store. But you can bet I'm not getting this kind of mileage out of an e-book.
Uncle. I admit it. The lamp doesn't need height. I'm running out of room for these damn piles of books. Besides, this gives me a chance to say, "Isn't that a handsome son I have?"
