My folks gave this book to me on St. Patricks Day 1992. I have since read it. They made some notes throughout which made it extra special. My Dad even added a few at the end, "512 - Always date letters, papers and documents (still do this and kick myself when I don't), 513 - Wear sweaters instead of lighting fires, 514 - Be Happy, 515 - Be Swedish (from the full-blood Swede)." Dad added a quote as well from Ray Bradbury, "If we listened to our intellect, we would never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time & build your wings on the way down." My Mom noted her Dad's motto was 181 - "Wear out, don't rust out." Makes me think of what we have that we don't use. Been trying to pass on things that I am not using so someone else can have the pleasure of using it. Just this weekend received a hymnal from someone who thought I would have more use of it than her. This book began as a gift to the author's son. Glad he shared it with the rest of the world.
