Today is Sarah’s 13,149 day on our lovely marble. Yes, you’re quite right: that’s a lot of days. Not so many days as I’ve been here, as she likes to point out. Repeatedly. So I shall spend this day reminding her of just how many days 13,149 is. It seems only fair.
But, the point is, here’s to the next 13,149. And many more.

I have a co-worker who, after about 25 years here at the library, is retiring.
I arrived a little early to his retirement party, digital camera in hand. Standing around, milling about, I found myself at the snacks counter (as one often does), and talking with one of our co-workers (as one often does). Having found me at the snacks counter, he started giving me a hard time: I obviously hadn’t come to show support or say goodbye and good luck to our friend — I’d just come for the free food.
“Yeah,” I said, holding up the camera. “There isn’t even any film in this camera.”
(It’s OK: it took him a couple of minutes, too.)
