If you never learn to milk a cow, you'll never have to milk one. [View all]

Decades ago, when I was in college, I worked in a small town department store. One of my jobs was gift wrapping.

My wife and I married right out of college and doing the gift wrapping for birthdays and Christmas has always been my job because I know how.

The Christmas gift wrapping job is much bigger now. Three grandchildren do that. It's 11:00 on Christmas Eve and I've just finished the job.
