I have a peculiar regard for and a
special interest in the merry month of
May because it is my birth month,
and every time the date rolls around
I feel a year younger, having shed
another batch of illusions and lost
quite a quantity of youthful serious
ness. There are so many solemn
things that really don’t matter, and it
takes us such a long time to find it
out.
T. H, Bragg has pulled off his
J. B. Simpson vest, and I have
removed my J. B. Simpson vest, and
that is a very good sign that happy
days are here again.

make sardine can openers.
