Only 10 years before I'll. be .,middleaged. A good time to sum up,. One . thing that strikes. me •is the amount 'of . junk a fellow can collect insuch a brief 'span. I came into the world :without a stitch or a nickle. And in only four and a half decades, I -have acquired a number of stitches, a- bout 400 nickels, a house 'with two mortgages, a car • wih 12 pay- ments to go, two. teenagers. to put through university, ' and a wife currently talking up the glories of an automatic dishwasher.
