Today is National Cherish an Antique Day and I really appreciate just how much you cherish me. I know I’m old but holding me in your heart makes feel so much better. Actually, I really prefer to be called retro or vintage instead of an antique which is a little pejorative and … wait a minute … I’m being told by my editorial staff that this national day is actually for inanimate antiques like furniture and fixtures. Oh. I see. But with my very limited exercise routine I can be pretty inanimate at times. No? Huh. Well, be that way. See if I care. Gonna go into a corner and sob a bit. Have a nice National Day without me.
