Andy Rooney Samples
Meaningful Numbers in My Life
I've read a lot of newspaper articles recently about inflation and deflation in this country and around the world.
I Have Been Known to Save Things
I save things. I'm a woodworker and I have good wood boards out of which to make things that I never make anything out of. Since the 1930s, I've collected typewriters. I have books I don't have time to read but I keep buying them.
Writing and Ditch Digging
When I sit down at my computer with a blank page on the screen, I often feel like going back to bed. Writing is not something people usually feel comfortable doing.
The President's Residence
It doesn't make much sense but we've named a lot of the most important buildings around the world after their shape or appearance. A lot of other famous buildings are named for something else.
Slow Train to Albany
The train ride from New York to Albany took three hours 50 years ago. Americans spend weeks of their year in cars, and many fly regularly. Nothing has resisted progress like our railroads. Too bad.
Things Not to Do Today
In the dead of night, when I lie awake thinking terrible thoughts, I think what a terrible thought "the dead of night" is. This occurred to me at 3 Saturday night, when it really wasn't Saturday or night anymore, but early Sunday morning.
