There will be all too few stories like this to tell you soon enough. So I had better get them in while they're still happening.
A young man came to the front desk of the library to pick up a DVD double feature of George C. Scott movies. We had to get them on Interlibrary Loan because we don't have as many old George C. Scott movies as we used to. I think this one had "The Hospital" which was pretty a big film, and then there was another movie rather more forgotten in time.
I considered the cover of the dvd for a moment as I checked the item out to the young person. He was maybe 20 years old. "I considered doing an impression of George C. Scott for you just now." I told him. "Only, two things prevented me."
"Yeah?" Said the guy with tepid interest.
"One. I wasn't sure you would know George C. Scott before watching the movies. And two, I can't do an impression of George C. Scott."

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
