> I've been working on the piano tuner image for thirty-eight years!!

> As a youth I envisioned a piano tuner as a bespectacled, middle-aged
person with broad forehead and paunch belly and carrying a satchel.

> The spectacles came about on account of poor vision. The broad forehead
was derived from too much combing,  like the idea that too much traffic
leads to expressways. The paunch was gradually accumulated through
consumption, more commonly known as an abundance of beer. The age thing
though had eluded me.... that is until today!

> June 11 puts me at 60.....since 1941. Too young to fight a war, too old to
be a baby-boomer, too "smart" to stay in school and too lazy to make a
living.

> Now that I've attained that image, let the phone ring. I'll be tuning well
into my 80's. Move over you old-timers! :--qp
