I have sprouts.

When's the snow going to melt so I can play in the dirt?

spring cleaning

It's hard to believe that I have books almost 100 years old in my library.

Stuff that I'm throwing away...

"The Universal Reference Library", 1949, which includes sections on "Christian Names of Men" and women
Bear cub scout book, 1975
"Tunnels of Doom" manual, for game cartridge for TI 99/4A, 1982
"MS-Basic Quick Reference Guide" 1983
Turbo Pascal 3.0 manual, for TI PC, 1985
DPath+ manual, for TI PC, 1985
"Neurophilosophy: Toward a Unified Science of the Mind-Brain", 3rd ed., 1988
"Get the most out of your Amiga" 1993
Borland C++ Builder 5 manual, 2000
various printed dictionaries (french, russian, synonym/antonym, quotations, foreign terms, etc)

Some oddities that I'm keeping...

Latin-English Dictionary by John T. White, no copyright printed anywhere I can find, 27th edition, preface dated January 1866
keeping it because it's a discard from my old high school, and it's really old

"Robinson Crusoe" hardback, published by Grosset & Dunlap of New York, no print date
keeping it because it has my mother's (maiden) name written in it, probably her childhood book
even this webpage has no date for it, #6, pale green cover

"Elementary Principles of Agriculture", 1914
keeping it because it has the name "Elmerce Wade" printed in it, which I think is my mother's father
(he died by the time I was born, so I wouldn't know)

some old AD&D v1 books
keeping it because it has the name of my ex printed in it
