Still Reading

It's taking me A while to get through Mason & Dixon, I admit it. Keep getting interrupted doing things like reading NON-fiction, books for my career like Koons: How I Did It, and looking for this book How to Win Friends and Influence People which took me FOREVER to find because I was looking under Andrew Carnegie and it's written by DALE Carnegie. Whoever heard of a guy named Dale writing a book? All the guys named Dale that I know excel in things like breaking and entering. So Mason & Dixon has been a slow road, but then people used to WALK places or at least go on horseback, so what. I've taken several years to finish a book in the past (but of course I always read other stuff during, like celebrity bios, to which I'm addicted. Heard there's one coming out about Bob Kidney, but I'll believe it when I see it. But if it's true, I'll pay full price for that one, and put everything else aside!). What I'm wondering is how many operating systems will become obsolete while I'm in the midst of this book. A reporter from HollywoodXpress purportedly asked either Mason or Dixon, can't remember which one, what operating system they use, to which they answered, "What the fuck are you talking about, man?" So, okay, I'll try to crack open another Cherry Coke and keep on reading, except I can't stomach that stuff, I still say it tastes more like almond than cherry, and thus reminds me of a particularly nauseating toilet cleaner from my days of cleaning office park bathrooms along the Columbus, Ohio outerbelt in the Reagan years.
