   Sounds bright. How do you store the albums? On end, or flat? & how to store   
   100+ & not damage the vinyl by its liquid nature (it'll flow down if on end too   
   long, making a bulging bottom)

   This was a curse to me -- I'd pick up a book that looked good, & half a   
   paragraph in I know the whole story toomuc to reread. That's gone now & I've   
   happily reread a couple of old favourites. . .ahh, age. . .   
      
   Things I like tend to find residence in my sketchy memory banks.   
      
   I have much stored in there, but the retrieval system sucks badly.   
      
   Oh, some times, if I can get in the right frame of mind, I can kick butt at   
   trivia for an hour or two. I had a nice coup in Jeopardy the other night -   
   beat Matt on a few questions, & I answered the Final Jeopardy before they   
   showed the question. (they showed the category & I parsed that & my   
   recollection of how Jeopardy chooses questions); & that & $5 will get me a cup   
   of coffee, I know. . .
