A Gift from a Friend
My mother dined with us last evening, and she arrived bearing a gift for me from a family friend. I laughed heartily when I saw the title of the book she was carrying. And, I am still smiling as I look at the cover across the room.
My gift:
The title proverb is attributed to Barney Greengrass.
I also note that the author is a graduate of Columbia Law School and appears to make his entire living as an author. Hmmmm.
Thanks Bill!

Michael: I have suspected for some time now that I do not find books when I am in a bookstore, but rather that they find me. I was walking through a Barnes & Noble on August 24 when I spotted this title. Two thoughts came to me: Michael’s birthday is approaching and he is smoking salmon. The fact that it was on the bargain table had nothing, of course, to do with my purchasing it. Happy Birthday
