As I travel through life, I occasionally learn that someone I’ve known for a long or short time is a much better friend than I ever thought they were. It’s one of life’s nicest feelings and I felt it again this morning.

I made a mistake posting this and it made it to the Internet as a blog item entitled “Things I Know” with nothing under it. I often feel as if I don’t know anything and when I feel like that, I may be correct. But I restored the body of the text.

Flowering trees sure brighten up the landscape at this time of year. Since I don’t suffer from hay fever, I’m in a better position to enjoy them than many people. Cherry trees, pear trees and the magnolias are welcomed signs of spring. I’d like a magnolia tree, but they grow so big I have no place to put one on my property.

If you’re in the New York area and want to see something beautiful, I recommend the cherry trees at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I haven’t gone in years, but if I recall correctly, they’re at their peak around Mother’s Day, maybe a little earlier this year because April has been so warm.

I went to Long Island Radio and TV day recently at C.W. Post College. Saw a few people I haven’t seen in years. I enjoyed it a lot.

My daughter thinks Toyota would have fewer problems with sticking accelerator pedals if they didn’t pack them in cotton candy to protect them during shipping. My daughter is a little strange. She must get it from her mother. God knows I’m completely normal.

I didn’t lose my job exactly. I know where it is, but if I go there, I don’t have a key anymore to get in, and someone else is doing it.

The New York Society Library claims President George Washington never returned two books he borrowed and, therefore, owes about $300,000 in past-due fines. I know, and the library should know, that theres a statute of limitations on uncollected debts. If that statute of limitations hasn,t changed since President Washington borrowed those books, then the statute of limitations expired before General Washington did.

When I was in the Army, they asked me if I wanted to volunteer to go airborne. I told them I would never jump out of a perfectly good airplane. I still feel that way.
