Surely not?

 A pre-65th birthday eve lunch celebration with Ray, who just happened to be in town.  So it must be true.  65 today.

No,  I am not wearing a wig but yes, my glasses have sustained some damage. The wrinkles are all genuine and the face does return to a zero setting......sometimes.  All in all, a pretty good 65 years I would say.

Book - At Home, Bill Bryson

 

How Bill manages all the facts he seems have in his head is a wonder of nature.  This book is more a collection of information that he perhaps couldn't find a 'home' for.........no pun intended .....than a history of Private Life.  And is a page turner.  There are hundreds of 'Not many people know that' moments.
