Today's sort through was a box labeled "Old Books."
I have reduced the number of books I'm keeping
to about one quarter of what I started with.
It seems it was common to write one's name and the year in books.
This one was my grandfather's.
He saw fit to write all the pertinent information on the cover.
What struck me most though
was that the year of his high school graduation
was one hundred years ago.
