And yeah, I've done a lot of small towns that were tiny enough that not even the truck stop carried a used paperback. Not a problem. Send me again.
It's not a child's grin. I'm not a child. I've been doing this a long time. Been around the block and around the world a few times. For decades. It hasn't grown old. I don't expect it to. It's comfortable, familiar. If someone is sick of it after two years, they're in for a sorry life.
When does that sad outlook kick in again? Past the fourth decade, or beyond?
When did yours start?

Don’t expect much and you won’t be disappointed.
Always a day late and a dollar short.
